The many deposits of books kept in rural schools means that many juvenile books go into homes that otherwise could not be reached because of their distance from the library. The past year 1,642 books were cir- culated from these schools.
Pupils of the Eighth grade received instruction in the use of the library in the customary course of five lessons given in the Fall. Seventh grade pupils paid a visit to the library during Book Week and made a tour of the building accompanied by a member of the library staff who explained the various departments. Pupils of the Fourth grade made a similar visit to become better acquainted with their public library.
ACTIVITIES
In April the District Nursing Association held a poster contest, placing the posters on exhibit in the exhibition hall of the library. Eighteen posters on the subject of health were displayed and five prizes awarded by the As- sociation, three of money and two books, The Yearling and Runner of the Mountain Tops.
During the same month the Old Middleborough Historical Association held a meeting in the Lecture Room to give members an opportunity of viewing the historical collection owned by the Association and housed in a room in the library.
In June the librarian attended a meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association in Northfield at which time libraries from all over the State entered posters in a contest. Hundreds of posters were entered and it is with much pride that we report two prizes were awarded to posters from our library. These were made by Miss Veazie of the staff, one representing a turkey with colorful tail feathers made of strips of book jackets, and the other an Easter poster consisting of bunnies made of cotton.
Book Week in November was observed by an attractive display of new books and posters and a stamp exhibit generously provided by some of the enthusiastic philatelists in town, Mr. J. Stearns Cushing, Mr. George Whitten and Miss Priscilla Charbonneau. Also there was a collection sent from a group of collectors at the State Sanitorium in Lakeville. The little stage, which has become a yearly institution, contained a scene from "Little Women.". Against a background of tiny fireplace, spinning wheel, spindle backed chairs and hand hooked rugs, a lovely Marmee in a gown of purple silk sat reading a letter from Father, surrounded by Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy, dressed in gowns of the period with snoods and black velvet ribbon in their hair.
An innovation tried out this year, an idea borrowed from a neighboring library, proved very helpful and popular. A box representing a Wishing Well was placed on a table with an invitation to the public to drop in suggestions and requests for books they would like to see in the library which the library did not already own. Many worthwhile suggestions
59
were received and as the books were purchased they were placed on the table by the Wishing Well. If the Wishing Well is removed for a brief period, we are besieged with requests to replace it.
At the present moment a branch at South Middleboro is in the process of preparation, to be opened within a week. It is hoped these books will prove an accommodation for the people in the extreme South end of the town. The branch is being established under the sponsorship of the South Middleboro Improvement Association and the Boy Scout Cabin is to be used to house the collection.
THE STAFF
Staff members have attended library conferences in Boston, Northfield, Quincy and East Bridgewater. The librarian has addressed library clubs out of town and brought the message of books and reading to ten local organizations and to one or more grades in every school, including the rural schools.
Miss Barbara Maynard was a voluntary worker for a period during the Spring months to obtain experience in library work.
THE BUILDING AND ITS MAINTENANCE
During the summer the furnace was almost completely rebuilt with the result that it is giving much more satisfactory service this winter. There are many sections of the library, inside and out, needing a coat of paint. With no furnace repairs anticipated, it is hoped there will be funds available for some of these much needed repairs.
IN APPRECIATION
Thanks are due the many generous friends who contributed books and other gifts during the year. There were 103 books given the library and a large number of magazines and other useful material. For gifts of books we are indebted to the Pickens Estate, Mrs. Eda Ward, Mrs. Emma G. Watson, Mrs. Hazel Werner, Mrs. Katherine Kirkland, the Literature De- partment of the Cabot Club and the Cabot Club for its purchases for the Memorial Shelf; to Miss Harriett Sylvester for books and also a case of birds and one of albino birds and animals beautifully mounted by her father, Mr. S. H. Sylvester; to Mrs. Herbert Sylvester for books and many valuable historical items from her late husband's collection; to Mr. Charles W. Brown for a file of the Electrical Engineering Magazine; to the Brotherhood of Churches for a permanent loan of a collection of choral music.
At the close of fifteen years service as librarian, I look back with a deep sense of pleasure and gratitude upon the always congenial and helpful attitude of the Board of Trustees and the never failing support of the members of the staff.

MERTIE E. WITBECK
