REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
F THE
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, OF RUTLAND.
GENTLEMEN :
The following is the financial account of the Library for the past year :
Appropriation by the Town, the Dog Fund $175 16
Balance from last year
80
Amount of fines for keeping books overtime 3 25
$179 21
EXPENDED
Paid for sign for library $ 2 50
Making shelves
2 80
one hundred and eighteen new books
102 62
postage, freight and express on books 2 04
salary of librarian 52 00
$161 96
Leaving a balance in hands of Committee
$17 25
By the generosity of Hon. John E. Russell, principally, and others, there has been about forty books and reports given to the Library the past year, which makes the whole number of books one thousand, four hundred and ninety-seven, (1,497), besides a num- ber of volumes of reports that have not been put upon the catalogue.
Number of books taken out for the past year, two thousand, and fourteen, (2,014), but owing to the fact that sometimes a book taken out is read by two or three families before it is returned, probably the Library should have the credit of two thousand, five
29
hundred (2,500), and perhaps more. This is all well enough, if the books are not damaged. Your committee think it would be well to have a new catalogue prepared and printed, as the old ones are pretty nearly gone, and would recommend that the copies be sold to those that want them at cost, and then they would not be destroyed so soon. We would also renew the remarks and recom- mendations of former reports.
