Report of the Trustees of Thayer Public Library
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
The Board of Trustees of the Thayer Public Library begs leave to present to you for your careful reading the Annual Report of our Librarian, Miriam Hall. This is a cogent report that strongly and deservedly stresses the conditions as they now exist in the Thayer Public Library. Every citizen who has the interests of this Town sincerely at heart should give thoughtful consideration to Miss Hall's discussion of "space for books, space for borrowers, and space for the staff. The discussion reveals the terrifically hampering condi- tions under which the librarian and her staff are working at the present time. There is hardly a worse library situation for a Town comparable in size to Braintree, in the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts.
The Board has made every possible effort to secure for the staff trained persons who are qualified by experience and a friendly atti- tude toward the public to carry on the library work with under- standing, good will, and efficiency. The Chairman cannot hope to continue these persons long in the service unless real effort is made to remedy conditions as they now exist. Isn't it about time for the citizens of Braintree to take the library problem in hand and work for the building of a central library that shall be adequate to the needs of this growing community ?
Respectfully submitted,
STACY B. SOUTHWORTH, Chairman, Board of Trustees Thayer Public Library.

To the Board of Trustees of the Thayer Public Library:
It is a healthy sign when the patient begins to get cranky; when he begins to take an interest in what's going on. So it is with the library's public. When they begin to ask questions; when they begin to fret a little about conditions which meet them in their library building, it is time for the staff, the trustees and town officials to take notice. THIS TIME HAS COME. Therefore, a report with emphasis on conditions as they exist in the present library building is in order: a report of space or rather the lack of it.
SPACE FOR BOOKS
Not long ago a borrower, after looking for some time for a particular book, said in a rather annoyed manner, "When are you going to get a new building? I hope then we will be able to find something." It happened that what the borrower wanted was in the cellar or in the balcony. REASON? NO ROOM IN THE STACKS. Each year more books are added; in the past year 1933 volumes. Continual weeding of worn books and out of date books does make room for a few additional but the new books always outnumber those discarded. Imagine a child with a box that holds 20 blocks trying to squeeze 12 more into the box. The library building was built to accommodate 20,000 volumes and now squeezed into every nook and corner in the cellar and attic, double rows on a shelf, you will find 32,000. Our complete stock now numbers 41,403 volumes, but the three branches take care of 9500 volumes. Dahl could certainly draw a very pertinent cartoon showing the library bulging on all sides and the roof lifted. It is just too bad that the walls are not elastic. Is it any wonder that a borrower cannot find a book? At times it is even difficult for a staff member to locate a special item.
SPACE FOR BORROWERS
Space for books is not the only problem. Space for borrowers and readers is lacking. During the year there has been an increased use of the reading room for study and recreational purposes. Vet- erans at the Thayer School and in college are taking their work seriously. Not only veterans but many of our other borrowers have asked for information of a specialized nature. We are grateful to the many libraries who have loaned us material which we did not own. We have borrowed during the year 79 books from 14 different libraries, on such subjects as the Bakery industry; Cold storage industry and warehousing; Industrial waste; Operation analysis; Gas practice; Wedgwood Ware; Shock treatment in psychiatry; Courses of study and books on various phases of education. Often two or three students come in together and want a place where they can read and discuss quietly among themselves the subjects they are studying. This, however, disturbs other people who are reading periodicals. Both types of borrowers are taxpayers and within their rights. There should be room for both.
The Teen-agers or High School young people need a place also. Early in October Mrs. Peterson tried to find a spot where we might put books especially suitable for these young people. After moving more books to the cellar, she has arranged four shelves and a small bulletin board in a corner of the reading room. Attractive book jackets and books on display have made this very popular. However, there should be more room and a place for the young people to sit down and browse through the books.
Radio and Victrola have brought new demands on the library. Demands for records to borrow, and a place to listen to music. Our
134
neighbor Quincy has a splendid music room, and other libraries are beginning to build up small record collections. New residents coming to Braintree have had these advantages in other towns. People are asking us often "In the new building will you have a place for a music room?" "Will you have records?" "Couldn't you find a corner and start a small collection now?" "Could you borrow records from the Quincy library on interlibrary loan?" Alas, there comes a time when there is a limit to suitable corners. This would be one of our first projects for 1947 if it were possible. We should, I am afraid, have plenty of justified complaints if we installed a Victrola in the reading room as it is at present.
The activities of the CHILDREN'S ROOM present a similar picture. A small room swarming with eager borrowers, and not room enough for everyone to sit down. One table, not large enough for all to do their home work. The littlest ones sometimes sit on the floor. The use of the boys' and girls' books has increased 7,307 this year; 5,000 of this increase at the Main Library. This is an illustration of what happens when there is a staff member on duty regularly; someone who takes an interest in children and their par- ents and teachers, and someone who knows the books. Since Sep- tember Mrs. Dorothy Blair has been in charge of the children's department. Her work with the children is beginning to show results for they are reading more worthwhile stories and non-fiction and fewer of the easy readers far below their grade level. Mothers . have told Mrs. Blair that the children are beginning to get into the real business of reading.
We are pleased with the splendid cooperation from the teachers this fall. Mrs. Blair has selected and prepared for classrooms approximately 65 collections of books. Mr. Daniel Holmes, principal of the north District schools has been especially helpful in interesting teachers and pupils in the library. In November he arranged with the help of Mrs. Blair a Book Fair exhibit and program for the three schools of his district. At the assembly program a moving picture "Portrait of a Library" was shown to the older groups of pupils. The results of Mr. Holmes' efforts have been most gratifying. The first month after the exhibit the number of children who applied for library cards increased from the usual monthly 30 to 80, and there was an increase of about 70 per cent in the daily circulation over the desk. In his welcoming address to the American Library Association Convention last June at Buffalo the President of the City Council made the following significant statement in regard to schools and libraries. "As agencies of Public education, the schools and libraries go hand in hand. Each is indispensable to the other. A principal objective of our public educational system is the training of pupils to become library users." We have made a start in the right direc- tion.
SPACE FOR THE STAFF
Do you realize that a library doing a business of circulating 152,000 volumes a year should have a staff of eight assistants ? We have at present six well-equipped staff members besides the libra- rian who carry out all the processes which are necessary to an efficient distribution of books. The registration of borrowers; the recording of books borrowed and recollecting them; preparing collec- tions of books for the branches, and the special records for these books; selecting and ordering new books; receiving and checking them; classifying and cataloging of books; typing letters and keeping of business records. This means nearly half a million transactions for all the books circulated. All this must be done in a space 12 feet by 4 feet. There is not a desk for each staff member; one small table to be used by five people. In order to keep out of another's
135
way it is often necessary to go a long way around to get to a type- writer; time and energy wasted. Many of these transactions require concentration and thought, and in order to be undisturbed one must retire to the furnace room. All mending processes must be done in the furnace room also. We are proud of a staff with such good dis- positions that they can get along under such working conditions. With the present staff it has been possible to alternate schedules, so that each staff member may have a free Saturday each month, thus giving her a two-day weekend; also a free Saturday evening once a month. During the last summer, the library and its branches were closed Saturday evenings in keeping with general policy of business. This was appreciated by the staff and as far as we have heard this caused little inconvenience to the public.
THESE ARE THE CONDITIONS WHICH EXIST TODAY. THE THAYER PUBLIC LIBRARY CANNOT FULFILL ITS PROPER PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT A CHANGE.
With the tremendous strides in science and the problems of peace to be solved throughout the world there rests a great responsi- bility for US THE PUBLIC TO BE INFORMED. "Science in evil hands can make us slaves. On the other hand men can use science and the machine to further human freedom and the development of human personality. The means whereby the people exercise a real choice depends upon a sacred process, the dissemination of knowl- edge. Knowledge must be open to all. Those who have a faith in people must take upon themselves this responsibility to keep the wellsprings of knowledge clear, to keep them open to all who come with a thirst to know."
THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR LIBRARY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Despite the fact that no building is possible in the immediate future, there are several things which can be done this year.
1. We should have an Open House to which the public will be invited to see the library from cellar to attic. In this way more citizens will know the true conditions and will be ready to talk and vote intelligently for a new building.
2. It is most essential that this year we acquire some temporary auxiliary quarters for housing the overflow of books. We must no longer continue to keep books piled on the cellar floor, and try to squeeze 25 books onto a shelf suitable for only 20.
3. We must perfect and work out in detail the plans for the new building, so that when the time is ripe we shall be ready. 1
In 1949 your library will celebrate its 75th birthday. Seventy- five years is a good age; it is the diamond anniversary. This calls for a special celebration. What more fitting diamond anniversary gift could the citizens give their library in 1949 than a VOTE FOR A NEW BUILDING !!
Respectfully submitted, .
