REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Memorial Hall Library.
GENTLEMEN :- I herewith submit the report of the library for the twelve months ending December 31, 1912.
The circulation for the year has been 32, 415 volumes, prac- tically the same as for the last three years. This figure appears to be about normal for the town and probably will not vary much Considering the size of Andover, it is a fair proportion of books per capita, but there are still many people in the community who do not realize how much of pleasure or profit the library can give them. If every person in town who is interested in any especial subject, would come to see what the public library can offer him on his particular hobby, he might be surprised at our varied resources. If we have not the book wanted, we always try to secure it, either by borrowing from another library, or by pur- chase, if it is wanted for serious study. The list of books requested during the year is an interesting one, covering a great variety of subjects, and containing very little fiction.
Our record for the past twelve months has been the usual one of routine. The reference work, especially during the school year, has been heavy. The local clubs depend largely upon the library for books to use in their yearly programmes of study, and we are constantly called upon to provide material for debates, entertainments and school exercises of all kinds. Our fund for the purchase of educational books enables us to keep this side of our library in excellent shape. Many of these books are appreciated by parents as well as teachers, for much of the new educational psychology and child training is as valuable in the nome as in the school-room.
During 1912, for the first time, we have circulated magazines. Extra copies of the Century, Harper, Scribner and McClure were
125
purchased for this purpose and were issued like books for a period of one week. This innovation was very greatly appre- ciated by the town, and the magazines are in constant demand. It is a curious and rather interesting fact that McClure, the only one of the cheaper magazines on the list, has been the least popular. For the coming year, in accordance with many requests, the Atlantic is to be added to the number.
We have purchased this year two important reference works ; the new editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Century Dictionary. We were fortunate in being able to have the English edition of the Britannica, the paper and plates of which are much superior to the American issue. For public library use, this edition is by far the more satisfactory.
Among gifts of books and papers, acknowledged elsewhere, is one of peculiar interest. Professor James H. Ropes has presented the original manuscript of the address delivered by Phillips Brooks at the dedication of the Memorial Hall. This seems a most appropriate place for it, and it is a gift valuable, not alone for its subject, but for the interest and affection that centre around the name of Massachusetts' great bishop. At present the manuscript has been placed in the library safe, but some time we may have a proper place to display it. Professor Ropes has also contributed a number of interesting autograph letters relating to the arrangements for the dedication of the Hall. They include notes from Bishop Brooks, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps and John Greenleaf Whittier. Professor Ropes sent as well, some of the earliest issues of the Punchard Ensign.
We have to express our thanks to many friends for the flowers that never fail us, a steady supply from early pusry willows to the pansies that blossomed out of doors so late as November 25th. Between April and November, nearly 300 gifts of flowers have been brought to the library and have been a source of pleasure to all who come. More than a few visitors look in, not to read, but merely to see what pleasure the reading-room has to offer in the shape of blossoms from the Andover gardens.
The question of opening a branch at Ballardvale was touched upon in the report for 1911, and should figure as an important
I26
matter in our plans for the coming year. It is unfortunate that the especial appropriation necessary for the purpose was lost in the town meeting, for it seems to have been entirely through a technical misunderstanding. But in the absence of an appro- priation, the Ballardvale branch had to be' deferred. There seems no reason, however, why it should not be carried through this year. A careful plan has been made for beginning this branch in a simple way, and if your board will incorporate in its request for the town appropriation, an additional $500 to be expended exclusively on Ballardvale, this branch can be started. Necessarily, it will be small, and to begin with, open but a few hours each week. I should recommend that all borrowers in Ballardvale be allowed to keep their cards at the main library as well, since at its start, the branch must be too limited in resources to supply satisfactorily all the probable demands upon it. In recommending the $500 for equipping this branch, it is assumed that Ballardvale will provide a suitable room, perhaps in the building known as the " old schoolhouse " and have this room lighted and heated. It should be thoroughly understood that this branch must be a small affair and that it will be kept so until its existence at all is completely justified by its use.
In regard to our present quarters at the Memorial Hall, there is simply the old story to be repeated. We have scant space for either books or readers. With our present equipment we cannot do more than we are doing. There is no doubt that the intel- lectual status of the town is such that a very high type of library work might be realized here. Yet the work is practically at a standstill because all that can be developed in our present en- vironment has been accomplished. The work that might be carried on with the children is out of the question when the only place for them to come is our small reading-room. Sinte the older people, too, have rights, the entire library cannot be turned into a juvenile room. It seems rather hard that year after year, we should have to report this familiar story, call attention to our crowded shelves, have unoccupied land ready and waiting for the addition we so much need, and still see the town remain oblivious to the fact that the library of 1912 has completely outgrown a building that was ample for the library
I27
of 1872. It appears incredible that Andover does not want its library to grow any more. In this age of society-forming there should be a society for the prevention of cruelty to libraries. There are many towns which do not realize that the public library is an essential part of their educational systems. A town that prides itself on its modern school methods and buildings, will be guilty of indifference, neglect or even cruelty as concerns its library, not understanding that it is of equal importance as an educational institution.
