PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
In the spring and fall of this year the library was open three days a week, increasing the hours from fourteen to twenty-one. The hours for next year will be:
Winter - Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 2 P.M. to 9 P.M.
Summer - Tuesday and Friday 2 P.M. to 9 P.M.
The State Library Commissioners, because of this increase, con- sidered the Flint Public Library eligible for the state grant-in-aid allotted to towns on a per capita basis. Ten cents per capita would have been deducted from the general state tax refund to the town otherwise. A new bill is to be presented at the next legislative session asking to have the grant-in-aid alloted directly to the libraries.
The Federal appropriation to aid library services in the states has been extended. The Bookmobile, which calls at the library every four weeks, was made possibly by this aid. Many requests for books have been filled by this service in addition to the collection kept at the library.
Although the reference work with both the grade school and the high schools has increased during the year, the basic collection falls far short from what is needed in this work. This is due in part to too small a budget for too many years. With the present budget and the increase in the price of books it is still not possible to meet and still purchase new books for general reading.
The gutters have been replaced on part of the building, fire blocks have been completed in the basement and additional shelf room has been added for books used by small children. The building was completely cleaned following smoke damage caused by a stoppage in the chimney.
Mrs. Helena Coffin is acting as library assistant. Mrs. Dorothy English filled the vacancy left when Mrs. Minnie C. Waitt resigned at the end of August.
