THE CROSS OF GRAY
Dedicated to the late Frederick W. Hilton
Mid Weymouth High's soft lawns and pines A cross of fairest gray Stands sentry o'er the youthful lines Which pass him day by day. He teaches in his gentle way That spirit cannot die ! "Pro Patria !" we hear him say, "Means love for Weymouth High !"
Staunch stands the watch of Weymouth High And gives for our brave dead These simple passwords to the hill Where Weymouth's men are bred. We love thee ! Alma Mater ! Oh let the years roll by ! Our song we raise ! Loud rings the praise ! Of grand old Weymouth High !

The Library is for the use of all residents of Weymouth. Temporary residents are entitled to the same privileges as permanent residents.
Each card issued to an adult entitles the holder to one book of recent fiction (a book published within the last year), one current periodical, and any reasonable number of other books.
Children under Senior High School age are entitled to a card if the application is signed by a parent or guardian. Cards issued to children entitle the holders to two books, only one of which may be fiction.
All books from the circulating department, except the new fiction, may be kept for 14 days. At the request of the borrower any book not in demand will be charged for one month, subject to recall after two weeks if requested by other borrowers. Fiction published within the last calendar year, and recent numbers of magazines are limited to seven days with no renewal privilege.
The vacation privilege allows a borrower to take books which are not recent publications for an extended time.
A book cannot be transferred from one card to another, but any 14- day book may be renewed at the library, by mail or by telephone (* ), unless another borrower has asked to have the book reserved. The date due, the author and title of the book, and the borrower's number should be stated when the request for renewal is made.
Any book will be reserved at the request of a borrower, who will be notified as soon as the book is available. A charge of one cent is made for this service.
A fine of two cents a day will be incurred for each day's detention of a book after it is due. When a book is sent for by the librarian, it will be at the expense of the borrower.

SIXTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY
The Trustees of the Tufts Library herewith present to the Town of Weymouth their sixty-second annual report. This report covers the year 1940.
During this year the library has given service to the Town of Wey- mouth through fifteen agencies. Besides the Main Library and the North and East Weymouth Branches, deposits of books are made available at Weymouth Heights, at Lovell's Corner and at Nash's Corner, a case of books is sent each week to the Fogg Library, and book collections have been placed in eight elementary schools. In this way the benefits of the library are spread over the town, so that now there are few localities left in Weymouth where the people may not easily and conveniently use their library. We are glad to report that we were able to resume service last April to the residents of Nash's Corner.
A new census has been taken in 1940, and we find that Weymouth has grown in the past ten years. Our gain in population is 2,865 or 13 3/4 %. What can we say of our library during the same time interval ? It, too, has gained, as is evidenced by the following figures:
1930

Books loaned through Stations
7,576
23,155
206%
Total book circulation
149,777
199,880
33 %
Such gains are gratifying, and especially so when we look further and find that while the use of the library has increased approximately 33%, its cost to the town of Weymouth has increased less than 8%. In- deed, the cost of each book circulated in 1940 was three cents less than in 1930.
A chart of our growth through the years would not, however, show a straight upward slant. There are fluctuations to the climbing line and they are found to have a direct correspondence to the fluctuations in unemployment. People without jobs turn to books. When the curve of employment rises, the curve of reading dips, though not as sharply. This has happened repeatedly and in libraries everywhere throughout the country. It is doubtless the explanation of the fact that the borrow- ing of books from the Tufts Library, which had increased steadily throughout 1939 and the first half of 1940 to a record breaking peak, fell off somewhat in the last six months, since the movement for national defense has brought new opportunities for employment.
Statistics covering the circulation of books and other activities of the library for 1940 will be found in full in the appendices to this report.
The work with boys and girls has had a full and rewarding year. The co-operation with the school department has been very close and many of the teachers have used the State Reading Lists with their pupils. The library supplies the books and awards the certificates. In 1940, 611 of the five-book certificates and 109 honor certificates were issued. That means that our Weymouth boys and girls read and reported on 3,600) books from recommended lists. At least 720 of these were non-fiction titles.
In the weeks preceding Book Week in November, the library spon- sored an essay contest in the seventh and eighth grades of the public
239
schools, and a poster contest in the same grades in the two Parochial schools. These contests directly stimulated an interest in books, their authors and illustrators.
Story telling in the schools, under the sponsorship of the Tufts Lib- rary through a grant from the Tufts Lecture Fund, has been a most successful and enjoyable way of introducing the children to fine books. The project begun in the fall of 1939 was carried into 1940, and is being repeated in 1940-1941.
Again this year the library co-operated with the School Department by taking a High School Senior for a week of practice work. Miss Lillian Berry was with us for the week beginning May 20th.
Some repairs have been necessary to the library property. On the morning of April 9th an explosion in the neighboring gas plant shattered the plate glass windows and jarred the building. It was most fortunate that no person was cut by the falling glass, and that there was not greater property damage. Service to the public was not interrupted, although the assistants in the Children's Room had to work in shifts on account of the cold. By six-thirty o'clock that evening, the new glass was installed. The library is grateful for the co-operation and help which was freely given in the emergency.
In addition to the replacing of broken windows, screens have been made for the windows of the alcove that is used as a catalog room. A few pieces of furniture have been refinished, and a new desk section and a small amount of shelving has been built for the library. The floor of the Main Library room has been shellacked and waxed.
Two changes in personnel have occurred during the year. Miss Alice M. Gowdy, assistant in the library since 1927, was married in 1940. She left in September, and the trustees hired Miss Marion F. Meurch to meet the emergency during the winter months. Miss Meurch is a graduate of Simmons College School of Library Science and has had two years ex- perience in the public library in Newport, Rhode Island.
On June 30th, Mr. Thomas E. Shea, our janitor for thirteen years, resigned because of ill health. His resignation was accepted with rogret and with appreciation for his faithful service. His place has been taken by Mr. John Galvin.
The library has co-operated with the Greater Boston Community Fund Campaign and the Red Cross Drive. During American Art Week, numerous paintings by Weymouth artists were on display at the Main Library and both branches. This was a most interesting community undertaking and the library was glad to have a part in it.
The trustees wish to thank most sincerely all those who have loaned exhibits or made gifts of books or flowers to the library during the year. These are listed at the close of this report.
We are living in momentous and tragic days. Ideas, ideals and atti- tudes toward life are involved in the war that is sweeping over much of the world. It is our part, as a library, to provide people with the materi- al that will help them to think clearly and constructivelv. This is no easy responsibility. We shall strive to place upon the library shelves books of information and facts, and thoughtful but not fear induced consideration of facts. We shall seek for books that will be helpful in the task of building our national defense, and we shall also seek whole- some books that can lift us above or take us far away from the theater of war. The public library has today an opportunity to serve and strengthen the democratic way of life, out of which it has grown and of which it is an expression.
Respectfully submitted, CLARANCE P. WHITTLE, President. By order and in behalf of the Trustees.
