The number of books taken from the library has been 2,100
Through the generosity of individuals and various organizations the reading room is well supplied with standard literature, which we hope the people of the town will make use of. The publications which have been kindly contributed, are as follows:
Scientific American, Outlook, The World of To-day and Cos- mopolitan, given by The Fire Department.
Leslie's Weekly, The Travel Magazine and McClure's Magazine given by the Home Relief and The Woman's Union.
The Country Gentlemen, Farming, New England Homestead, given by the Grange.
The Christian Endeavor World, given by the Christian En- deavor Society.
Country Life in America, given by David F. Putnam St. Nicholas, given by Mrs. J. P. Munroe.
Saturday Evening Post, given by Mrs. W. H. Bartlett Ladies' Home Journal, given by Mrs. Mary Converse. A Map of the United States, given by C. W. Dodge. Three Books have been given by L. Q. Spaulding. One Book given by Mrs. S. E. Munroe
Three Books given by The Christian Science Publishing Society Twelve Books given by The Swedenborg Publishing Society.
The appearance of the reading room has been much improved by being tinted, which work was contributed by Mr. Spaulding.
A short time since B. W. Potter, Esq., presented to the town | a bust of Abraham Lincoln, which has been placed in the reading room, helping very much to beautify it.
15
Early in the winter we were successful in interesting the State Library Commission, in the condition of our Library, and they agreed to furnish an expert to reorganize and classify the Library, providing we would furnish board and what assistance was needed. Accordingly in January we made arrangements for the work to be done, part of the board of the lady was contributed by Mrs. Spaul- ding, and the rest furnished at a low rate by Miss Putnam.
The services of the Librarian and Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Smith were secured as assistants, and they gave their time for a compara- ti vely small compensation. The work lasted four weeks, and being completed, leaves the Library now in better working order than it ever was before.
To all those who have so kindly contributed to the Reading Room, and to the work of putting the Library in its present con- dition, the Trustees wish to hereby express their thanks. And we trust that the citizens will show their appreciation of the improved condition of the Library, by making a more general use of it,
We wish that the coming year there may be a catalogue printed, making a list of the contents of the library, easily available to the people.
We therefore ask that the whole of the dog fund be appropri- ated for the use of the Library.
Respectfully submitted,
