Report of Public Library Trustees
The Trustees of the Saugus Public Library submit their annual report.
During the past year, we have made repairs to the front doors of the main building by bolting the door frame to the masonry and adding kickplates to the doors to keep them in shape during rain storms. This we hope will do away with the swelling of the doors and make the opening and closing an easy matter.
Some of the gutters which did not need replacing when the addition was made were found to have rusted and they have been replaced with copper ones which will last for many years.
A ventilator which was improperly fastened when the building was erected causing a roof leak has been secured and we have had no trouble from it since.
The gas entrance which was put in when the building was erected had no outside or inside shut-off and led through the coal pile. In case of fire with a full bin it would have been a hazard. The Lynn Gas and Electric Company, on having the matter called to their attention, changed the en- trance to a conduit which was made for the purpose when the building was erected, and installed an outside and inside shut- off conforming to modern practice.
In conference with the Superintendent of Schools and the High School Principal, it was decided to open a branch at the High School containing most of the books on the school read- ing list. This was opened at the beginning of the fall term and gives the pupils better facilities for using those books. This was put on trial for one year.
The cement floors in the historical room (so called) and the Cliftondale branch have been painted which gives a bet- ter appearance and minimizes the dust problem.

PUBLIC LIBRARY TRUSTEES' REPORT
1937]
We have had trouble during the winter from cold drafts. coming through the cracks in the joints of the windows. We have had the windows and doors weather stripped which adds to the comfort of those in the building and helps the heating problems.
In the spring of the year and continuing in the fall, book reviews have been given in the historical room. Rev. Mr. Schwenk of the First Parish Church has conducted the re- views and those who have attended have been well repaid for the time spent there. The Trustees extend their thanks to him for giving the townspeople this educational opportunity.
The passage of the Contributory Retirement Pension Act by the legislature made it necessary for the Trustees to look forward to the time when the present librarian would be re- tired. They engaged Miss Margaret Cameron, a graduate of Simmons College in the library course and who has had prac- tical experience in library work as assistant. She will have time to become familiar with our problems before the time: comes for the present librarian's retirement.
