ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the President and Board of Trustees,
Middleborough Public Library:
The Middleborough Public Library together with libraries through- out the country are gratified to note an encouraging trend in the public's reading, an increased use of the library and books, an indication that people are again finding time for reading in spite of the many distrac- tions including radio, television and comic books. Statistics show that our own library enjoyed an increase in circulation of 2,436 books, magazines and phonograph records. This figure represents an output of 789 phonograph records none of which were included in last year's figures since this service did not begin until March, 1952. Increase in the circulation of books is most noticeable in the juvenile department and in the non-fiction of the adult department.
RECORD COLLECTION
On March 24th the new service offering phonograph records for circulation was inaugurated with a concert of recorded music, using the Webster-Chicago record player presented to the library by Middleboro Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles. The concert was held in the Lecture Room of the library with Mr. George R. Austin as commentator. During the evening a presentation of the record player was made to the library by Worthy President Russell Hollis of the Eagles, Mr. Theodore N. Wood, President of the Trustees, accepting the gift for the library.
The public has been most appreciative of the privilege of taking records on their library card like books. The record player has been used a great deal especially by groups of young people, anyone over fourteen years of age always welcome to use the player with earphones. A "Suggestion 'Box" has been kept in a conspicuous place near the charging desk and many constructive suggestions have been offered for new record purchases. Many gifts of single records and albums have been received and we are especially grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Tomasik and Mrs. S. Forrest Long for a collection of over 100 records which were a part of the stock of Mr. Long's Record Shop. Other donors are as follows: Mrs. Alvin M. Bigelow, Henry B. Burkland, Walter E. Fogg, Arnold W. Shaw, Mrs. Gardner Sherman, Mrs. Charles P. Washburn, Ladies' Auxiliary of Fraternal Order of Eagles, Literature Department of the Cabot Club and the Sachem Steppers.
SCHOOLS AND THE LIBRARY
The librarian has visited all schools in town, including the rural schools, carrying deposits of books for the various classrooms and telling stories in many of them.
There are three appointments with the schools which the librarian keeps each year. As soon as school begins in September she visits an assembly of Bates School and speaks on the subject, "What the Library Can Do for You, and What You Can Do for the Library." Next comes a visit to School Street School to those pupils of Grade Four who are just beginning their reading for State Certificates to explain the
115
ANNUAL REPORT
process of reading for and receiving their Certificates. Thirdly comes the course of instruction to pupils of the Eighth Grade in the use of the library.
On November 24th the library sponsored an exhibit of books on Mental Hygiene at a meeting of the Parents and Teachers Asso- ciation of Bates School, many parents taking books home for further reading.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Book Week presented an opportunity to make use of our new record player. Over one thousand school children came by grades, accompanied by teachers, to enjoy the stories told by Miss Bassett, Miss Veazie and Mrs. Witbeck. New books suitable to each grade were reviewed, the period closing with the following recordings:
Grades I, II, III - Emperor's New Clothes; Little Hawk the Indian Boy.
Grades IV, V, VI - Robin Hood.
Grades VII, VIII - Moby Dick, a dramatic arrangement star- ring Charles Laughton.
A record number of young readers signed up for the summer reading club which this summer took the form of a "Tom Sawyer Reading Club." Books to be read were divided into two groups, those for Grades III to V bearing a red dot on the back, for Grades VI to VIII, a blue dot. There were thirty-nine young people registered and the winners of each group were presented books at the Book Week Story hours.
On May 14th and 15th a most interesting and instructive "Weed- ing Workshop" was held at the library, sponsored by the Massachu- setts Division of Public Libraries with Miss Alice M. Cahill and Miss Evelyn R. Robinson of the Division in charge. Discussion included the principles of discarding library books, what to discard and what to save. In addition to the local library staff, librarians attended from South Dartmouth, East Freetown, Lakeville, Raynham, Bridge- water, West Bridgewater, Halifax and Plympton.
Putting these instructions into practice, Mrs. Witbeck and Miss Veazie spent the summer months weeding out and taking inventory of the non-fiction books in the Young People's Room.
THE LIBRARY INSIDE AND OUT
A major repair job was done during the year on the outside of the library building. It is hoped in 1953 to obtain an appropriation to complete the work which would include pointing bricks on two sides of the building, repairing gutters and painting window sashes.
One of the most appreciated achievements included in this project was the spreading of ninety dollars worth of "Roost-No-More" which has entirely eliminated the pigeon nuisance which for years has made a hazard of going in or out of the library entrance.
Inside the building the Historical Room on the second floor was entirely redecorated. A new Royal typewriter was added to the office equipment as well as a new steel document file.
116
ANNUAL REPORT
IN APPRECIATION
In addition to those already mentioned whose generosity has pro- vided the library with excellent additions to the record collection and a fine record player, we wish to thank:
Mr. Henry B. Burkland for a very handsome oak desk for use in the South Midleborough Branch. The desk bears a silver plate with the name of Mr. James E. Graham in whose memory the desk is given. Mr. Graham was custodian of the building in which the branch is housed and built book shelves, steps for reaching the books and was always thoughtful about having the room warm and clean for use of the staff and patrons.
Mrs. Deborah C. Webster for a year's subscription to the Com- monweal.
Mrs. Edla Alta for a collection of Finnish books.
The many friends of the library who by their gifts have added valuable material to the library's collection of books and magazines.
In closing, I wish to acknowldge my appreciation for the wise direction and sympathetic understanding of the trustees and the loyal cooperation of the staff.
Respectfully submitted, MERTIE E. WITBECK,
Librarian.
