Report of the Trustees of the Public Library
To the Town of Rutland:
During the past year we have tried to build up the young people's section of the library in order to supply more of the books for supplemental reading as required by the schools. The importance of this part of the work is shown by the increased number of our younger readers.
Many worth-while books have also been added to the adult shelves. We would welcome suggestions from our readers to help us in our selection of books, both fiction and non-fiction.
