Library Department
To the Honorable Board of 5e- lectmen:
1959 has been a very busy and ,exciting year in the 5augus library department. Our circu- lation figures indicate a steady growth in the use of books by the townspeople as indicated by the following tables:

Gain over 1958 ..... 9,565. All through the state more and more books for children are be- ing circulated and we are happy that 5augus is' among those lib- raries experiencing this prom- ising trend. If our boys and girls develop good reading habits they will make better informed cīt- izens as the years go by.
Along with other libraries throughout the nation we partici- pated in the observance of Na- tional Library Week in April. The project aims to stimulate interest in the local library-its books - its physical set-up and staff. The climax of the week was an Open House on Friday, April 17th. The citizens' Com- mittee for this event was headed by Mrs. Walter H. Devitt with Mrs. Laurence Davis as chair- man of hospitality. Dr. and Mrs. Stanley Carp showed marvelous pictures of their trip to England and Israel; a group of Girl 5cours gave a choral reading and the evening ended on a note of friendly sociability, Our grateful thanks go to all who helped with this community pro- ject.
Miss Blackmer and Mrs. Warren have done book reviews for various groups. Miss Black- mer spoke at the 5pring meet- ing of the Merrimack Valley
Library Club at- Ipswich ;-- also - at the Dorr Memorial Church and at the Daughters of the A- merican Revolution.
In May a bill was introduced into the state legislature-a bill which proposed reimbursing money to the Boston Public Li- brary for reference services to the citizens of communities out- side of Boston. Towns and cities in an area designated as the Metropolitan Parks District were scheduled to carry this assessment. 5augus is included in this district. The librarian contacted Mr. Belden Bly, Jr., our representative, and the Selectmen urging them to take the necessary steps to register protest against this legislation. Other towns in the area felt that the situation was acute and librarians from these commun- ities convened at the Brookline Public Library on May 6th in an endeavor to combat such act- ion by the Boston Public Li- brary. The bill was defeated, but the group has held several sub- sequent meetings and has now become the Metropolitan Boston Library Planning Council. It meets monthly with the objec- tive of setting up facilities for better library service in the * area through inter-library co- operation. Saugus is one of the -smaller libraries in tbe group and our participation in these discussions may well open ways to improvement in our service.
Saugus Librarians are mem- bers of the North Shore Li- brary Club - a professional group which meets four times a year to hear speakers on books and library problems. Your librarian has just been elected to a two year term as president of this organization. The meetings are held in neigh- boring libraries and the staff always comes back to work with ideas for bettering our services to our public. At the September meeting Paul Benza- quin told of the research he had done in order to write his book "Holocaust". Contact with authors and educators is al- ways beneficial.
Our department tries in all ways to co-operate with the schools and teachers. A book display was arranged for Miss Brownrigg, the Elementary 5 chool Supervisor, for the Reading Workshop held at the Veterans' Memorial School. Many of the elementary grades have room deposits of books and the branches at Lynnhurst, North 5augus and Oaklandvale serve juvenile borrowers only. The new T.V. literature pro- gram introduced into the third grades this year calls for much supplementary reading. The library has made extensive pur- chases of these titles and dis- tributed them throughout the system. Miss Mary Walsh, dir- ector of Audio-Visual Aids for the schools has commended us for our cooperation. Again we had a summer reading project for boys and girls. The theme was our two new states - Alaska and Hawaii. The sum- mer project keeps reading in- terest up through the months when schools are closed. During Children's Book Week in No- vember our first and second assistant Librarians, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Adams, carry a schedule of story hours into the lower grades in our schools. Boys and girls surely appreciate these story hours. It is a most effective way to introduce new books to children.
We - gratefully ~acknowledge book gifts received during the year: "History of Western Morals" in memory of Ben- jamin Bockser, given by Mrs. Naomi Cherkofsky; "Experts' Book of Boating" in memory of Capt. Charles Malone, given by Mr. and Mrs. David Hur- witz; "How to Stencil and Dec- orate" in memory of Mrs. How- ard Barrett, given by friends and neighbors; and two books acquired during National -Li- brary Week - "First Year of American Heritage" presented by 5augus Rotary Club and "Piloting Seamanship and Small Boat Handling" presented by Turnpike Marine. We also thank friends, neighbors and staff members who have generously brought articles for our dis- plays. We had a most interesting collection of old books during National Library Week, At other times we have had ceramics, pottery and porcelain, fans and valentines. Such exhibits create good public relations.
The project in our depart- mental, year which has been most exciting is the drawing of preliminary plans for .a new wing for the Main Library in 5augus Center. We have most. inadequate facilities for carry- ing on the business which comes to us these days. Students have very cramped space for study; there is no work area at. all, nor any staff accommodations. On the busiest days in the Boys' and Girls' Room the chil- dren line up across the width of the room, into the hallway and even up the stairs leading from the front door. We cer- tainly must not discourage this wonderful trend in reading and we must do something to handle it adequately. The article for money for the new wing which will be included in the warrant for the 1960 Town Meeting de- serves the earnest thought and support of every citizen who is interested in the educational opportunities in our town. The library is surely a supplement to our schools - a most active and important supplement.

They do all of the overhauling of motors -- sheet metal work -- electrical work -- welding and burning -- mechanical work and painting of all of the equipment. Therefore our cost to the Town is very small, other than parts and supplies, when needed. The equipment available at all times for any type of disaster is as follows,

The Saugus Auxiliary Police training program has produced a number of men who have been appointed Special Officer's Chief R. Mansfiled of the Town of Saugus Police Department. These men have received train- ing on the job as well as class room work consisting of the Blue Book, First Aid, The Art of Self Defense (Judo), Town By-Laws, and the proper use of firearms and night stick.
The Auxiliary Police unit is under the command of Cluef J. O. Smith, who has a most cap- able training officer (Capt. Marshall Campbell) who has spent many hours teaching the complete roster of 30 men, many of the above named sub- jects.
This unit has appeared as a most efficient workable unit on assignments given them by Chief R. Mansfield, such as patrol on Halloween, and during, the Policemen's Ball when they as an individual unit, so as to allow all the regular policemen attend the ball.
