TRUSTEES AND STAFF OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
1942]
Report of the Trustees and Staff of the Saugus Public Library
To the Board of Library Trustees.
Report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1942.
Reregistration of the borrowers of the Saugus Public Library has been completed this year, so that, for the first time, we can include in our statistics the number of persons who are now using the li- brary. Then, of course, there is automatic removal from the files of the names of those who, for some reason, have stopped borrow- ing books. In 1945, the borrowers will again reregister, in order to check up on those registrations which have become invalid, un- known to the library. Therefore, the records will be kept up to date, making it possible, through a study of the resulting figures, to tell just where library service is adequate or where it is lacking.
People can no longer use their cars to come to the main library and must rely more than ever on the branch libraries. In order to meet this demand, the money for books must be increased a great deal to supply extra copies for use at the branches. Library service has always been entirely inade- quate in the outlying districts, due to distance and lack of transpor- tation; and right now, of course, improvement of service is impos- sible without more books to take the utmost advantage of the slight means of transportation available. Circulation statistics from the Cliftondale Branch already show a noticeable increase on account of this situation.
A series of book reviews given approximately every month was started in November. With the first one there were hobby exhibits to il- lustrate our books on different hobbies. Attendance at these af- fairs hardly justifies the effort, but those who do attend find it worth- while.
Last summer another reading project was arranged for the chil- dren, in which each child proceeded a certain distance along his route on a map of the world for each book he read. They were encour- aged to read about the countries through which they traveled, and the game stimulated not only the reading of books, but also interest in other lands.
The librarian and assistant li- brarian have visited schools to give book reviews and tell stories, and the seventh grade has had regular classes at the main library in in- struction in the use of books and libraries; all of which is an at- temnt to carry out one of the im- portant aims in the library's work with children, namely, cooperation with the schools.
Addition of a new set of shelves in the children's room has improved conditions there a great deal, but there is still the acute need for space for books, for working on the books, and for storage in the main library.
