REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY.
The Board of Trustees respectfully submit their seventeenth annual report, as follows :-
The library was opened for the delivery of books 304 days dur- ing the year 1895. The number of volumes loaned for home use was 64,771, an average of 213 volumes daily, and a yearly aver- age of 5.73 volumes for each inhabitant of the town. The largest number of loans in one day was 454 on February 23, and the smallest number was 39 on July 22. During the month of March there was a delivery of 6507 volumes, which was 314 volumes in excess of any previous monthly record. 32,536 volumes were de- livered at the library, and 32,235 volumes through the several agencies, as follows :----
Precinct 1. Bartlett's store . 4,865
Precinct 1. Holden & Sladen's store .
1,511
Precincts 2 and 6. Salisbury's store .
10,148
Precincts 2 and 6. Bates & Humphrey's store
2,733
Precinct 4. Lovells Corner
1,427
Precinct 4. Nash's store ·
4,099
Precinct 5. Foster's store
7,452
The agency at Holden & Sladen's store in Precinct 1 was estab- lished during the year, and the first delivery of books made on March 22.
Mr. Foster, after having conducted the agency in Precinct 5 for several years with entire satisfaction to the Trustees, resigned the charge on account of the inadequacy of his compensation, and Mr. C. H. Tinkham will take the agency at the beginning of the year.
234
The teachers have borrowed 2943 volumes on their special cards, and some of them have made valuable suggestions to their pupils in regard to the selection of books.
The classification of the whole circulation is as follows :-
Arts, three per cent ; biography, two and five-tenths per cent ; fiction, sixty eight and five-tenths per cent ; history, four and two- tenths per cent; literature, three per cent; natural science, two and two-tenths per cent; poetry, two per cent ; social science, one per cent; theology, four-tenths per cent; travels, five and two- tenths per cent ; and periodicals, eight per cent, .
Commencing with January 12, the special non-fiction card was issued to all applying for it, and 425 of these cards have been taken. That this privilege has been appreciated is evinced by the use of the card by members of the various literary and de- bating societies, readers of magazine literature, and a considera- ble class of younger students, and by the consequent reduction in the circulation of fiction to its present per cent, which is the lowest in the history of the library.
The number of borrowers' cards to date is 7,700, 354 having been issued during the year; but this is exclusive of the special cards, as the two cards given to a borrower bear the same number.
817 volumes were added to the library, making the whole num- ber of accessions 16,980. Of these, sixty-nine were gifts, sixty- one periodicals of the reading room, bound by the library, and seven hundred eighty-seven were purchased, one hundred eleven of which replaced worn out books or duplicated popular novels.
The annual inspection of the library was made as usual, and showed that six books were missing. Of this number three must be counted as lost, but it is possible that the others may be found.
The annual bulletin containing the titles of all additions for the . year was published as usual. The year's accessions are classified as follows :- Fine arts, twenty-one volumes ; music, twenty ; use- ful arts, eleven ; biography, seventy-five; books of reference, twenty-eight ; fiction, one hundred eighty-seven; juvenile fiction, seventy-one ; history, forty ; literature, fifty-five ; natural science,. thirty-one; poetry, twenty-two; social science, twenty-eight ; theol- ogy, seventeen ; and travels, thirty-eight.
The following list contains some of the more important works
235
added to the library during the year : - Abbey's Quest of the Holy Grail, Lübke's Outlines of the History of Art, Scenes from Many Lands, Butterworth's Growth of Industrial Art, Atkinson's Elec- tricity for Everybody, Appleton's American Cyclopedia, and Cy- clopedia of American Biography in 6 vols., Smith's Century Cy- clopedia of Names, Larned's History for Ready Reference in 5 vols., Baird's Huguenots and the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, Brown's Pilgrim Fathers of New England and their Puritan Successors, Winsor's Mississippi Basin, Arnold's Letters, Dow- den's New Studies in Literature, Vol. I of Jusserand's Literary His- tory of the English People, Vol. XI of Morley's English Writers, Chapman's Birds of Eastern North America (illust. ), Eaton's Ferns of North America, in 2 v., Shaler's Sea and Land, Stedman's Victorian Anthology, Stanley's My Early Travels, Sayce's Higher Criticism, Wey's Rome, and Vols. VI, VII and VIII of Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia.
A marked increase in the use of the reference library has result- ed, in a large measure, from the increased facilities for access to it by those living beyond the limits of the Precinct in which it is lo- cated, and the valuable additions during the last year to the works kept upon its shelves have made it more useful to students than before; but we learn, from those in charge, that some who fre- quent it are forgetful of the old maxim that "Each one should so exercise his own rights, as not to encroach on the rights of others," and disregarding the conspicuous posted cautions to the contrary, indulge in conversations and discussions which seriously interfere with its use for study by those who resort to it for that sole purpose. The trustees would also suggest to those who visit the library for investigation, that, since Saturday is the busiest day of the week at the delivery desk, they will find the librarians less occupied with imperative duties on any other day, and there- fore better able to render any assistance in their power to such visitors.
The library has received in gifts from those whose names ap- pear in the appended list, many valuable books, periodicals and public documents, for which the Trustees extend their sincere thanks to the donors.
236
In December last, Miss Anna H. Tower of this town presented to the Tufts Library a large and excellent portrait of Amos S. White, Esq. This most appropriate and acceptable gift has been placed upon the wall of the delivery room of the Library building, as a lasting memorial of one of the most earnest and efficient promoters of the founding of the Library, and of one of its board of Trustees from the date of its organization, faithfully acting as their Clerk and Treasurer for nearly the whole of that period, and until his death.
The increasing circulation of the library and the large expenses attending the transportation and delivery of books from the seven agencies now existing, require the practice of a careful economy in order to bring the expenditures within the limit of the means annually appropriated by the town during the last three years ; but, in the belief that the financial situation of the town will not now justify an increase over those appropriations, the Trustees ask for the same as last year ; namely, two thousand dollars, with the rents of the library building and one-half of the dog tax.
