LIBRARIAN'S REPORT


The Flint Public Library is open two days a week


Tuesday 2:00 to 9:00


Friday 2:00 to 9:00


Work on the pointing up of the outside of the building was con- tinued during the year, leaving the south side and part of the west side to be completed in 1958. Two new peg boards have been placed in the balcony and make the display of material for exhibits easier to arrange. The Trustees Room, where the magazines are kept, is again open as an adult reading room.


There has been an increase in the use of the library during the year, not only in the circulation of books but also in the number of reference questions answered. Due in part to the requirements of those pupils in Salem High School, the questions answered have been more varied than in the past. Books have been purchased to meet this, but more are needed than the budget allows. The first three grades have continued to come to the library for a story hour. A second story hour for slightly older children has been conducted, the first and second Friday afternoons of each month, by a group of 4H Club girls, as a project of their own. Both have helped to create an interest in reading. A few collections of books have been sent to classrooms at the school. Here again it has been found necessary to purchase more books of current interest, especially in the field of science.


The Bookmobile from the State Regional Center in North Reading will make its first stop at the Library, January 21, 1958 to leave a collection of books, which will be changed about every three weeks. It will supplement the Library collection, supplying books the library cannot afford, either because they are too expensive or because we do not purchase too many books that will not be of lasting value. It will still be necessary to purchase current titles for general reading, but mainly those titles which will keep an already good basic col- lection, for a library of this size, up to its present standard. It would not be a sound policy to lower it because of lack of an increased budget to meet the increase in the price of books. This price is about double that of ten years ago.


The many books that have been presented to the Library are greatly appreciated and have proved useful. In addition to these 28 Pocket Books have been made available by gift and purchase. Many Pocket titles are good and, although the books do not last too

long, make it possible to purchase little used standard titles for the basic collection as well as titles in fields where there are a few steady readers whose need we could not satisfy with the more expensive bound books.


Mrs. Katherine Fairbanks and Mrs. Laurel Oliver have worked at the library during the year. Miss Caroline Knight and Judith Smith have substituted occasionally.
