Report of the Milford Town Library
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES
The Trustees of the Milford Town Library submit the following report for the year 1945.
The year 1945 shows an increase of 4101 in circulation as compared with the year 1944, for which the Trustees and the Library Staff are pleased. With the ending of World War II and the return of the veterans, we feel that all Library activities will be greatly increased.
The Trustees and the Staff are happy to know that the Librarian, Captain Robert McGinnis did not suffer any injury during his long period of service.
To Lieutenant Colonel David Davoren, a former Trus- tee, still in service, again we extend our wishes for his safe and speedy return.
To S. K. 3c Frederick Cahill Jr. and Sgt. William O'Brien, former Trustees, we extend a hearty welcome at their return to civilian life.
At this time, thanks is expressed to all who have as- sisted in any way to improve the activities and facilities of the Library.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees calls your at- tention to the Librarian's report which follows, describing in detail the activities of the year 1945, the facilities which the Library offers and the work done during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK H. GOULD,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

NOTES
Mrs. Harriet A. Hunter retired November 1, 1945 af- ter fourteen years service in the Milford Town Library. Mrs. Hunter's sudden death December 8, 1945, shocked the community and her former associates.
Mrs. Hunter was a conscientious worker, a member of the Universalist Church, and it is our hope that she may reap her just reward.
Mrs. Grace Rooney was appointed to succeed Mrs. Hunter. To Mrs. Rooney, the Librarian and Staff extend a welcome and trust she will enjoy her association with the Milford Town Library.
The Librarian at this time wishes to thank her as- sistants Miss Cecelia Wallace and Mrs. Alice Morgan for their co-operation, efficiency and pleasant association. To part-time help, the Librarian is grateful for their co- operation. Stacy School Branch Library has been discon- tinued since the opening of schools in September, 1945. This Library was opened from January, 1945 through June, 1945, during which time 4,481 books circulated. Miss Cecelia Wallace was in charge and had fine success in this work.
Mr. Paul Raftery, Principal of the Stacy School, sug- gested that the pupils be sent to the Library by classes and this has been done. It is hoped that access to the Main Library will help the students to become better acquaint- ed with the activities and facilities of the Library.
National Book Week was observed by a display of posters, books and material pertaining to Book Week.
Posters, pamphlets and literature pertaining to Post- War problems are exhibited and may be obtained at the Library.
