interest of their funded gift to be spent in the purcase of children's books.
Our bills for binding books this year are large, but theyare a necessary expense. Cheap binding never pays in the end, fo un- less a book is properly done at the first rebinding, it does not wear, and is is then spoiled for any further treatment and can never be satisfactorily done again. The re-binding this year has been done chiefly in Cambridge, the sections of the books beng sewn on tapes, and they are wearing well. The average child's book has to be rebound after circulating ten or fifteen time ;. This is not wholly due to careless handling, but in part to the original flimsy case binding used by the publisher. After being stoutly rebound, they will circulate three or four times as long, and still be in good condition. Some of the publishers are now issuing books in re-inforced binding especially for library use. These cost at time of first purchase, ten cents additional. We buy these "library editions" whenever they can be obtained. They are not as attractive in appearance, but some of them have circu- lated ninety times and are still stout and unbroken in binding.
The story hour for children was successfully carried through the winter of 1907-08, stories being told twice a week until the first of April, on Tuesday afternoons to little girls, and on Fri- day evenings to boys. Miss Twichell has again begun with the Thanksgiving and Christmas stories, and this winter is planning, in addition to the weekly stories for the little children, an addi- tional series on Scottish history for the older Scotch boys. Only a few of the children who heard the stories last winter are in- cluded in these groups. Most of them are now reading for themselves, and so a set of children a size smaller have been invited. Owing to lack of room for both books and children, further development of the children's work must be deferred.
The reference use of the library has been of the usual character throughout the year. Lists for the programmes of the local clubs have been compiled, and the usual bulletins made for the reading room, the subjects varying with the season. A list of the educa- tional books in the library was compiled at the request of the superintendent of schools for the use of the teachers. The
I38
students of both public schools and academies are making in- creased use of the library for their debates and theses. We have had a travelling library on Egypt from the Woman's Edu- cational Association with the accompanying photographs and from the Forbes Library of Northampton, the loan of a number of photographs of English castles and palaces.
Aside from gifts of books and pamphlets, the library has again to thank the town for many flowers. As long as there have been flowers in Andover, there have been flowers in the library where they are à source of pleasure to many. This winter there are an unusual number of plants to make the reading room pleasant.
As may be seen from the appended statistics, the use and circulation of the library show a marked increase over even 1907. During 1908, 34,872 books were issued. This is a gain of 6157 over 1907, and an increase of 17,104 as compared with 1906. For a town the size of Andover, 35,000 is rather above the usual rate.
The attention of the trustees and the town is again called to the crowded condition of the library and the lack of room for readers. The library is doing the best it can under present con- ditions but it is sadly cramped for room. Andover, which has always been noted for its high standards, and its appreciation of all educational influences, should not drop behind other Massachu- setts towns in providing its library with the means for useful growth and with suitable quarters in which to grow.
Respectfully,
EDNA A. BROWN,
Librarian.

INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE LIBRARY 1
The Memorial Hall Library is open every day except Sundays and legal holidays from 9 to 12.30 in the morning, and from 3 to 9 in the afternoon and evening.
Any resident of Andover over ten years of age may have a library card upon filling out an application blank. Children in grades below the Punchard School, are required to have their applications en- dorsed by both parent and teacher.
All grown people are allowed to take two books, provided that one only is fiction. This privilege is also given to the Punchard pupils. Teachers are permitted to draw ten books strictly for school use. These books are subject to the ordinary rules of the library.
Books are issued for fourteen days, the date upon which the book is due being stamped plainly upon the "date due" slip at the time of issue. A book kept overtime incurs a fine of two cents for every day over- due. A few of the books most in demand are issued for seven days only. All these are labelled upon the book pocket, "Seven day book". Books lost or damaged must be paid for.
Fiction is not renewed or reserved for anyone. Books other than fiction may be renewed if no one else has asked for them, and if a work other than fiction is specially desired for any serious purpose, notice of its return to the library will be sent on request.
The shelves of the whole library are open to all grown people. The books are arranged according to subjects, and it is usually much more satisfactory to go to the shelves and examine the books than to depend upon the catalogue.
The only complete index of the contents of the library is the card catalogue. The printed catalogue of the books was issued ten years ago, and is out-of-date, besides containing the names of many books which are no longer in the library. The new books are listed at intervals in the weekly paper, and cumulated in the yearly library report, but the only complete record is the card catalogue. This catalogue is arranged alphabetically like a dictionary. To find whether any given book is in the library, look for it under the sur- 1
I42
name of the author, or under its title. The right hand drawers of the case contain a second arrangement of cards where the books are entered according to the subjects of which they treat.
The new books purchased each month are placed for some weeks in a special case on the north side of the reading room, so that the most recent additions to the library may be found there. The library buys only a limited amount of new fiction, but it tries to fill the wants of the community in regard to other books desired. People are invited to suggest for purchase the titles of such books as they wish.
The library staff are always glad to answer questions or in any way to help visitors find what they want.
