THE MEMORIAL HALL LIBRARY SETS ITS COURSE
Last year's report found the Memorial Hall Library at a turning-point. This year, because of decisions taken in 1963, its future course seems more clearly indicated.
The decision of the Library Board, with the approval of the Selectmen and the Town Mana - ger, to accept a regional role for the Memorial Hall Library is perhaps the most important of all actions taken during the last twelve months. This means that Andover will be one of five geogra- phical sub-centers, in the about-to-be established Eastern Regional Public Library System. with proposed headquarters at the Boston Public Library. We deem it an honor that Andover should have been chosen and look forward with anticipation to being part of this pioneer undertaking, though no definite date can be given at this time for the start of the the new service. Probably it will not be before next spring and it is conceivable that even then only the first phase of the plan will go into operation with other parts of the program being undertaken as rapidly as possible. Andover, then, will receive funds from the regional budget for its wider service.
Another step taken in 1963, important to the forward progress of the library, was the deci- sion to draw up new plans for the library addition scheduled to be undertaken in 1965.
Since the 1955 plans, as they stand, do not give sufficient space for future growth and since there was some difference of opinion as to the outside architectural propriety, it seemed wise to make a fresh approach to our rather difficult architectural problem.
In 1955, too, we rather underestimated population growth. Since 1955, moreover, student use has markedly accelerated and may well double in the 1970's; more and more adults seek the library in order to keep abreast of changing and proliferating knowledge; larger book collections are even now of first necessity. For the future there may well be more emphasis on the newer media - tapes, teaching machines, etc; the regional service will mean an expanded role for the library; future town growth may mean that some extension services to other parts of Ando- ver may be desired. Short of an economic cata- clysm, which would destroy the area's economic viability, we see ahead a long period of conti- nuous library growth.
A typical busy afternoon
The new plans for the building, prepared by our architect with the assistance of our libra- ry consultant, will receive our serious study. They envision an L-shaped addition to the South and West which would seem to offer good interior functional arrangements, adequate capacity for books, readers and services and flexibility for alternative use of space at some later time and for future extension if ever necessary.
Two pieces of legislation in 1963, one at the state level, the other at the federal level, had interest for public libraries.
At the last session the General Court passed an amendment to the 1960 State Aid to Public Libraries Act which restored to the legislation its original intent to provide new money for the im- provement of financial support of public libraries in Massachusetts. Until now the grants -in-aid have been financed out of the proceeds of the income tax money which would have come to the communities anyway.
42
The second bill, the Library Services and Construction Act, has passed the Senate by a vote of eighty-nine to seven and will come before the House for action early in January. If passed, it has considerable implications for public library development in this country. There is even the possibility, if Massachusetts qualifies and the community approves, that funds might be available to help offset the cost of our own library addition.
Progress, too, was made this past year in facing up to the problem of student use in libra - ries and the adequacy and availability of books and other materials to young people in Andover's public and school libraries.
A series of meetings were held in which the school superintendent, the curriculum coordi- nator, school administrators, school and public librarians participated. Their discussions were enriched by the availability of excellent background material on the subject, which had been pre - pared for the annual American Library Association Conference, and the recently published Deiches report, a study of student use in the Baltimore area, as the local group explored ways of coordina- ting Andover's library resources and services.
Ultimately, it is hoped that there will be a joint statement setting forth common goals, de - lineating special areas of responsibility and providing the machinery for continuing study and collaboration.
This exploration comes at a particularly strategic time as more adequate facilities for high school and public libraries are being studied.
The exploration seems very relevant to us as we see our building bursting at the seams, circulation rising, with an ever growing need to try to balance off the legitimate demands of the many segments of our public of which students are an immensely important part.
Our gain of almost 9, 000 was mainly in the issue of material from the Adult Department. Hitherto, in recent years, the Children's Department has frequently had the larger gain, although if it did not in 1963, it still had the highest circulation in its history.
Few will argue, we believe, but that such sustained growth must result in increased book budgets. Yet, even as funds become larger, demands increase almost faster so that like Alice-in- Wonderland we find ourselves running very hard just to stay in the same place. The greater avail- ability of quality paper backs has enabled us to include a wider variety of titles than might have been possible otherwise in the fields of science and mathematics and, more particularly, of topical books, important currently, but more quickly expendable.
Like most other libraries, the steady increase in informational and reference use has been striking.
For this reason, we have sought to strengthen our reference collection markedly. Thanks, in part, to a gift from the Andover Evening Study Program, several important reference works have been added during the year. Among those added were the "Dictionary of National Biography" and the "Cambridge History of English Literature. "
The acquisition of federal government documents was put on a more systematic basis this past year. Although the distribution of state documents leaves much to be desired, we hope to be able to make some progress in this area another year.
We believe that a social scientist some hundred years hence would have valuable material for an understanding of what American society was like in the 1960's, could he have access to the kinds of reference questions put to libraries in this period. As we examine a few of these questions put to this library last year, we note once again their wide variety and how they relate to the differ - ent roles people play as individuals, members of a family, as students and workers.
43
There were the questions which were easy to answer and those which taxed imagination and knowledge of sources. Here are a few: an inquirer wanted a Russian word related to Christmas as a name for a dog; another wished to know the effects that constant moving from place to place might have on children; a business man wanted material which would be helpful in making a business change; someone else needed to find out how the quarrels of parents affect adolescents; a club mem- ber sought suggestions for books to be reviewed on a club program; another asked for the address of the Eastman Kodak Company.
Our children's program followed the pattern of other years with activities which included the weekly story hour, so effective in challenging children's imagination; the popular pre-school groups where three and four-year olds are introduced to the magic of books; the summer reading program which provides opportunity for leisurely exploration into the world of books which is less possible during the busy school year.
An increased book budget for elementary school libraries this past year was a constructive step that we hope will be repeated until we reach a level of support which will ensure book collec- tions large and varied enough to meet today's school library demands. Except for a slight increase in hours of service at the Sanborn Elementary School Library, there has been no change in school library schedules.
Two developments in recent years have given us concern: one, the deterioration in library conduct, particularly on the part of some junior high school boys and girls; the other, the increase in the amount of mutiliation and theft, especially of reference material. Part of the cause is the increase in numbers using the library, and in some measure, perhaps, accelerated school pres- sures. In each instance it may be a comparatively small number who are the offenders.
Thanks to the constructive help of the schools and the police department and to our own stricter policy, library behavior is improving. The other problem of book theft is hard to get at but we shall do our best to solve it.
Since most of our special activities get excellent press coverage, for which we annually bestow an accolade upon the Andover Townsman, we shall mention only three: an art exhibit, " Andover In Pictures" to which some twenty local artists contributed; a talk on how a painting is created, by Justin Curry, a young Andover artist, both part of our 1963 National Library Week celebration, and our annual Open House when George E. Brown of the Bradford Junior College Fa- culty talked about reading contemporary poetry.
There were the usual book displays and other exhibits which helped to celebrate an anniver - sary, to display a hobbyist's enthusiam, to call attention to important happenings in the world of books or to focus attention on events of local, national and world significance in a year of too many crises.
Two book lists compiled during the year merit special attention: the popular list "Books for Christmas Giving" and the "Basic Home Reference Library" comprising a selection of paper backs costing thirteen dollars for which requests came in from other libraries.
Although staff changes have been so numerous as to be almost commonplace, we admit to being somewhat shaken when our Supervisor of Children's Services, Margaret Lane, the chief architect of our children's program, announced that she was leaving us to serve two years as librarian in a girls' school in Üsküdar, Turkey. Although we admired her adventurous spirit in making the change, her going seemed to open up a void hard to fill for, to most people, she was the children's service.
Fortune was on our side, however, as we successfully persuaded Elizabeth Russell to come to us from the Winchester Public Library where she was Children's Librarian. She has taken over the leadership of our children's department with a minimum loss of momentum and is slowly but surely making her own place among her colleages, with the children and in the community.

The securing of another assistant for the school and children's program proved unsuccess - ful though we hope to have better luck in 1964.
There were other staff changes as well: Harriet J. Gilcreast joined the staff on a part-time basis assuming some of the duties previously performed by Gertrude B. Hart who retired at the end of 1962; Mildred M. Krause, formerly of the Sheboygan, Wisconsin Public Library, took over most of the work formerly done by Shirley L. Ackerman whose death, early in 1963, shocked and saddened us all. Martha MacCausland is now the assistant at the Ballard Vale Branch Library.
Two other friends with long and valued library association died in 1963: Claude M. Fuess, a former Library Trustee, who served more than twenty years in that capacity and Eleanore G. Bliss, a member of the staff for thirty years until her retirement in 1959.
Miss Putnam completed her term as President of the Massachusetts Library Association, an office which proved more rewarding than had been anticipated, and which involved her in several state wide activities particularly during National Library Week.
Professional staff members participated in library association programs, attended state, regional, and national meetings, took part in a book review program for the evaluation of science books for children, gave talks to professional groups.
Among the gifts to the library during the year were the following, including the Andover Evening Study Program gift already mentioned: money from the Andover Council of Churches to purchase religious books, plants for the Children's Room from the Andover Junior Garden Club, memorial gifts made in memory of friends and families, four copies of Rachel Carson's provocative "Silent Spring" from the Andover Sportsmen's Club, another grant from the Futterman fund for the purchase of recordings, the gay marigolds planted at the base of the flag pole by the Sanborn School girl scouts.
In this report, too, we should like to give special recognition to Robert Rockwell and his associate, Helen Stearns, for their able leadership of our Great Books Group during its entire existence.
Special appreciation, as always, goes to members of the library staff for work well-done and to the members of the Library Board for their continued guiding wisdom.
This is your librarian's twenty-fifth annual report. Since she assumed her responsibility here, she has seen public libraries grow in strength and in general acceptance, yet she is very sure that their greatest growth and development lie just ahead.
