REPORT OF THE 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, 1915.
The circulation for the year is 41637 books as compared with 41130 for 1914. This increase is due to larger use of the main library since the number of volumes issued at Ballardvale is less than last year, 7582 instead of 7992. This decrease was to be expected, since the use of a branch when first opened is almost always larger than the normal level which it afterwards reaches. The present circulation is good in proportion to the population of Andover, 5.7 books per capita.
Two important changes were made in the Memorial Hall during the year; the addition of a fire escape as required by the state law, and the equipping of the building with steam heat. To have the furnaces that had been in commission for over forty years removed and an adequate heating plant installed was greatly appreciated by all who use the library. The change from a temperature at best around 60 and often lower, where no proper ventilation was possible, to conditions where plenty of fresh air can be supplied and the library still be perfectly comfortable, is an improvement that calls forth constant appre- ciative comment and is doubtless a factor in the increased use. Not one criticism of the ventilation has been made this season and people who complained bitterly in the past, now occupy the reading-room in comfort. The only regret is that the plant should be installed in a place so plainly inadequate for the needs of the library, but the new boiler is capable of heating a larger building when we have the addition so much needed.
The reference use of the library continues large, particularly by the schools. Did space only permit, we should duplicate many books especially wanted by the children, but we have no place to put them. Students are naturally exasperated when we can provide only one or two copies of a book for the use of a class of thirty. Other libraries with adequate accommodations
110
solve this problem satisfactorily by purchasing "school dupli- cates", but as has been repeatedly said, the Andover library can never do what it has in its power to do, or be what it might be to the schools and to the town, until it has more room.
The four travelling libraries purchased last year for the out- lying schools have been appreciated. The school department has attended to their transportation and assumed responsibility for their safety. They were composed of one hundred different books proved by experience to be liked and enjoyed by children.
An unusually large number of books were withdrawn during the year because they had been in houses where scarlet fever or diphtheria developed. Such cases are reported to us at once by the Board of Health, and it is our invariable custom to destroy any volume that has been exposed to possible contagion, even when, as occurred this year in several instances, the books were perfectly new. The library prefers to bear this loss in order that parents may be confident that all proper precautions are taken.
We have received from different people gifts of books and pamphlets. From the estate of George H. Torr came a number of books which were of use both in the main library and at Ballardvale. There was also an unusual and valuable portrait engraving of Lincoln. Mr. George Ripley has presented both library and branch with a quantity of helpful and inspiring literature. Another interesting addition is a large assortment of books and pamphlets relating to the European war, presented by Sir Gilbert Parker.
In regard to the immense amount of war literature flooding the market, our purchases have been most conservative. The few books we have bought are those possessing a certain value of human interest, such as Kreisler's "Four weeks in the trenches," Aldrich's "Hill-top on the Marne," or Wister's wonderful "Pentecost of Calamity." Believing that our readers obtain from daily papers and current magazines all they want of war conditions, we have avoided fiction, particularly all juvenile fiction, based on the present conflict. There is not the usual demand for stories of exciting adventure; actual life is affording sufficient variety for all but the most hardened novel- readers. Instead, people are asking for quiet stories, of home
111
life or character study rather than fiction. There is a remarkable demand for the older English novelists, Trollope, Thackeray, Brontë, and Dickens. People are turning to them as a relief from the strain of world war.
The branch at Ballardvale shows enthusiastic use. It has now 1011 volumes belonging to it. Much of its success is due to its librarian, Miss Byington, whose personal interest and knowledge of the village form a big factor in its popularity. While the percentage of fiction circulated is large, it need not be deplored, for part of the branch's reason for existence is to bring to the children and the older people, clean, wholesome, recreative reading. Miss Byington reports that additional shelving will be required this coming spring. Fortunately there is ample wall space. Ballardvale also wishes to have the immediate approach to the building made more attractive, levelled and planted with grass. The estimate obtained shows that needed loam, work, etc. will cost about seventy-five dollars. Since the presence of the library in the building is the cause of the village interest to have the vicinity improved, it is hoped that the change may be made possible at the coming town meeting.
Our own cramped quarters have forced us this year to request the discontinuance of such government publications as the Congressional Record, Patent Office gazette, and other valuable documents which have been sent us free for years. Not until the town, or somebody who cares to do something for the town, makes possible the addition needed to the present building, will the Memorial Hall Library be able to offer the very high type of library service that might be enjoyed by the community of Andover.
Respectfully submitted,
EDNA A. BROWN Librarian

INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE LIBRARY
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 endorsed by both teacher and parent.
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 on the "date due" slip at the time of issue. A book kept overtime incurs a fine of two cents for every day overdue. A few of the books most in demand are issued for seven days only. All these are labeled upon the book pocket, "Seven day book". Books lost or damaged must be paid for.
Seven day books are not renewed or reserved for anyone. Other books may be renewed if no one else has asked for them, and if a work not fiction, is especially 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 often 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 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 surname of the author, or under its title. The right hand drawers of the case contain a second arrange-
116
ment of cards where the books are entered according to the sub- jects 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 books they wish.
The library staff is always glad to answer questions or in any way to help visitors find what they want.
117
NEW BOOKS ADDED IN 1915
State and government documents, such as the Massachusetts Acts and Re- solves, Manual of the General Court, etc., and annual reports regularly received and kept in the library for reference are not listed. Duplicates purchased for Ballardvale, or replacements are also not included.
