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, 1923.


The number of books issued for home use during the year was 46,189, of which 6491 were borrowed through the branch at Ballardvale. This total is approximately the same as for 1922, but it is interesting to note that at the Memorial Hall 73% of all books issued were taken by grown people, while 27% were borrowed by children. The books issued to adults comprised 33% non-fiction; those to children 44%. The year shows also a large registration of new borrowers, with men in good proportion.


The usual routine of the library has gone on, with a gratifying amount of reference work done with the schools, the different local clubs and societies. Books have been lent to the outlying schools, sent to the four distant districts, and issued on vacation cards. The usual lectures on the use of the library were given to the sophomores in the Punchard High School.


The library's friends have been generous in remembering it with gifts. Five extremely valuable books on the history of art were given us by one gentleman, all books which we could not have bought from our own funds. Other thoughtful people have turned over for our use copies of recent novels which they had read and did not care to keep permanently. Still others have brought us works on more serious subjects, essays, biography or travel. All these gifts add just that much to the amount we can do with our regular book funds.


The outstanding event of the year was the observance, on Sunday evening, May 27th, of the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Memorial Hall, and the opening of the library. Before a large assembly in the Town Hall, a summary of the


123


library's half-century of usefulness and progress was given by Dr. Alfred E. Stearns, and Rev. J. Edgar Park held the absorbed attention of his audience as he spoke on books and the value of reading, under the title of "The Biography of the Unknown." At this meeting were seven persons who had been present at the dedication of the building.


The branch at Ballardvale also celebrated, early in May, its tenth anniversary. The branch library kept open house for the afternoon and evening, with callers numbering several hundred. Mr. Nathan C. Hamblin spoke briefly for the Trustees. The usefulness of this branch to Ballardvale, and the appreciation in which it is held, show plainly in the fact that in the ten years of its life, it has circulated 67,739 books.


The observance of our fiftieth anniversary and the question of the form which the war memorial shall take, has recently oc- casioned some public discussion concerning the Memorial Hall considered as a building. It should be remembered that it was a library which was created as a memorial to the Civil War heroes, and that the building was only the shell. Whatever may be one's private opinion of the architectural value of the Memorial Hall, those who criticise that tribute to the soldiers of 1861, cannot fail to realize that the library itself - the soul of that building - is very far from being either obsolete, dead, or unappreciated. For a half-century it has functioned as a power- ful, though quiet force in the life of the community, spreading its influence through hundreds of homes and thousands of lives. Its use increased from an initial circulation of 11,000 books a year to over 51,000.


This past November, in connection with Miss Mary Byers Smith of the Hampshire Bookshop, we arranged an intensive observance of Good Book Week for children. A committee of about forty representative people was asked to meet for a con- ference at the Townsman office, and this meeting resulted in arousing the interest of town in all its different sections. The school children made posters and wrote compositions on books and reading, and not a few came to the library and took cards.


A special program was arranged for one day at the Colonial Theatre, the manager kindly permitting the committee appointed to choose the films. The two selected were "The Prince and the


124


Pauper", and "Columbus," the first of the series of historical films being staged by the Yale University Press. There was a continuous performance before a crowded house, containing many people who do not often attend the movies.


We were fortunate enough to secure Mrs. Mary E. S. Root, formerly children's librarian at the Providence Public Library, for two lectures on reading for children. One was given under the auspices of the Shawsheen Women's Club, and the other under that of the Memorial Hall Library, at a meeting held at Abbot Academy. Miss Alice E. Blanchard, of the Hampshire Bookshop, was the other speaker. Mrs. Root also spoke at the Haverhill Public Library and at Bradford Academy.


From a suggestion made at the first committee meeting grew a loan exhibition of old-fashioned books for children, held at the library for two weeks during November. Over 250 books were brought for this purpose, from thirty different homes, and the result interested hundreds of visitors. One surprising outcome was that the exhibition, which it was supposed would be of interest chiefly to the grown people, captivated the children. They read with great enjoyment through the glass cases, the queer pages of old-time moral tales, and were genuinely dis- appointed that they could not borrow the books.


Ballardvale also took part in the observance of Good Book Week. Miss Caroline Underhill, of the Utica Public Library, spoke at a well-attended meeting arranged by the Mothers' Club in the Bradlee School.


Last year we considered seriously the opening of a branch at Shawsheen. It seemed an advisable thing to do, and, on receipt of a petition from the Shawsheen Women's Club, the Trustees made an unsuccessful effort to find a suitable room. None was available, so the project was postponed. The large and rapid growth of that part of town is now putting a different aspect on the question. With a population increasing by leaps and bounds, it would be impossible to give satisfactory service by means of a small branch library. After careful observation of the situation, and after talking with people living in Shawsheen, your librarian has come to the conclusion that the service wanted by that section of town can best be given by increasing and enlarging the resources and ability of the main library. Numerous borrowers


125


have registered from Shawsheen, who express themselves as perfectly content to use the central library, and it is evident, from the books they draw, that the necessarily limited collection in a branch would never satisfy their wants. The distance from Andover Square to Shawsheen is no farther than to Andover Hill, and there has never been a suggestion that a branch should there be established. In these days of automobiles a mile is hardly a barrier to any one who wants a book. There is also another factor in the situation in the new building which the South Lawrence Library is to have in a section neighboring to Shawsheen. It will doubtless be desirable, when the Shawsheen school building is completed, to arrange with the teachers about having special loans of books for the use of the younger children. This can be done, if we can enlarge our collection of children's books, limited now both by lack of space and lack of funds.


This question of sufficient books for the children comes up when we consider only the centre of town. The work with the schools is always heavy, but during the term just past, we were unable to meet the demands made upon us. When a class of twenty children arrives at the library, each hopefully intent upon a book about the Philippines, we have only about five suited to their needs. The rest must content themselves with the encyclopedia, and it is strange that they ever return, after having such a cold stone offered them. The very next day the affair is staged again, with Italy or Africa or lumbering as the subject. Different teachers wish to reserve books for their classes, and it is with the utmost difficulty that we can squeeze out any space whatever for this purpose.


Teachers and children alike have a right to expect more than the library is now able to give them. We have teachers coming to Andover, who are accustomed to well-equipped libraries, and much as we wish to give them the help they have had elsewhere, no one can make three books do the work of fifteen. The library, through inadequate space and insufficient equipment, is failing the schools in an essential part of its educational work. And the work with the children is so important that it seems surprising how year after year their needs can be repeatedly stressed and receive no response. These children are the hope of the town, the "hope of the world" as Hagedorn puts it, yet they have


126


neither the special room nor the books which the library needs for them and which the town really owes them.


The Memorial Hall Library is both a social center and an educational institution. The scope of its influence and of its service to the whole community is determined by the opportunity given it by the town.


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 parent and teacher.


All grown people are allowed to take any reasonable number of books, provided that only one is a seven-day book. The Punchard pupils are permitted to borrow two, one fiction and one non-fiction.


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 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 alpha- betically 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 arrangement of cards where the books are entered according to the subjects of which they treat.


129


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.
