In 1956 13,641 Weymouth citizens read 325,720 books. This is an average, per person, of two books a month throughout the year. Approximately one half of these were borrowed by children and that is important, for the young readers of today will be the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow. Of the adult books 36% were non-fiction, the largest percentage of adult non-fiction circulated in any year of the library's history. Let us follow one of these non-fiction books throughout the year: a book dealing with the history of the Middle East, the Arabs, oil and Israel. This book has visited the homes of a U. S. Navy Man, a shoe worker, a fire fighter. It was borrowed by housewives, clerks, a dietitian, a lawyer, a dentist, a ship-fitter, a bank teller and an electrical engineer. And this book is one of many, circulating through our community, helping us to understand the world we live in.
Ours is not a compact community. Because Weymouth is spread out with several population centers instead of one, the library must spread its services. Approximately one third of the books circulated in 1956 were borrowed from the Main Library building; a little over one half were loaned by the North and East Branch Libraries and the community Libra- ry Stations that are located in five of the elementary schools. The bal- ance, or about 15% were circulated through classroom collections in the schools. There were one hundred of these classroom libraries in nineteen schools. It is here that we must record a decrease in book circulation over the previous year. Because we did not have enough books to supply classroom libraries to all the lower grades in town we had to eliminate the collections for grades one to three in the five schools where we have deposit libraries. The boys and girls could get the books they wished from those libraries. This meant fewer books circulated through the class rooms but some more circulated through the Station Libraries.
The North Branch has now completed two full years in its new build- ing. There is always a large increase in the use of a library during its first year in new and attractive quarters. The North Branch in its second year has held this increase and added to it. Its educational film programs, both for adults and children, are now an established and appreciated feature of its service, often drawing patrons from other sections of the town.
The rapid growth of the library stations located in schools is evidence of the need of extending the service out through the community. This
228
is especially marked at Nash's Corner, Lovell's Corner and Pond Plain where the circulation gains have been 43%, 47% and 51% in one year. In the Pratt School and the Pond School it has become necessary to open the library a second day each week in order to give all the boys and girls in the schools an opportunity to use the library. The total book circula- tion of the five library stations in 1956 was 73,982, exceeding the circula- tion of the North Branch by a little over 3,800. Taken together the sta- tions are the equivalent of a large branch library.
Three factors are essential to good library service: (1) a well rounded, adequate book collection, - (2) a staff that knows the books and also the techniques for making them easily available and useful in the community, that has understanding of the needs of the community and vision and enthusiasm in meeting those needs, and (3) adequate physical facilities for operating the library.
The book collection in the Tufts Library is well rounded but it is not adequate for our growing population. It is 22% below the American Library Association standard of two and a half books per capita. Books are the life blood of the library and we hope that we may have the re- source to build up our collection.
Our library staff has been crippled this past year because of resigna- tions and illness. There have been two resignations from the professional staff during 1956 and two others, just at the close of the year, effective early in 1957. Mrs. Ann Brogan resigned in February 1956 and was re- placed by Mrs. Mildred McCusker. Mrs. Ruth Richardson resigned in June. Her position of Assistant Cataloger has been filled by a transfer within the staff, but the vacancy caused by her resignation has not yet been filled. Mrs. Grace Baldwin, formerly Assistant Branch Librarian at the North Branch, is now the Assistant Cataloger. Miss Lorna Draper, an assistant at the North Branch has been promoted to the position of Assistant Branch Librarian. Our Circulation and Records Librarian was granted a leave of absence because of illness. We are glad that she is able to be back with us now. On October first, Mr. Stanley W. Nadell, Custodian of the North Branch Library, left us and was replaced by Mr. Robert Drake.
At the close of the year Mrs. Filomena Merz, Librarian of the East Branch Library, resigned, effective January 31st, 1957. Mrs. Irene Thomp- son, a former librarian of the East Branch and more recently Assistant Children's Librarian at the Main Library, will return to the East Branch as Librarian. She will be welcomed there by many patrons who remem- ber her former service.
In November the trustees received the resignation fo Miss Christine E. Evarts, the present Town Librarian. She will retire February 15, 1957, and will be succeeded by Mrs. Eleanor T. Cooney, who has been Assistant Town Librarian for the past five years.
All of these changes mean re-adjustments within the Staff and new additions to it, and a continuing challenge to every staff member.
With the exception of the new branch library in North Weymouth, the physical facilities of the Tufts Library are far from adequate. This is most keenly felt in the Main Library building, which is over-crowded and unfunctional. It is not possible to work efficiently when space is so limited that the various kinds of work cannot be separated. Nor can the services to the public be as extensive or as satisfactory in over-crowded quarters. We should look forward to a new Main Library building, with reading rooms and book collections for all the age groups, for a public
229
library serves all the people all their lives. There should be place for special collections such as music and art and local history. There should be space for study groups and for community gatherings. And for effi- cient operation it is essential to have administrative offices, and work rooms that will care for all the phases of book processing, for the receiv- ing of books and for their distribution throughout the town.
In our present building we are providing service on the various age levels, though in very limited space, and our popular music collection has its own corner. The growing use by the public and their cooperation, and the interest and resourcefulness of the library staff have combined to make possible the service which the library is giving today.
The maintenance of the old building is a continual care and expense. The patching of the roof is a repetitive job. Very soon expensive repairs must be made on the chimney. Only one major alteration has been made during 1956; a bookcase partition that had become decrepit has been re- placed with a wall-board partition that allows for book shelving on each side. This gives a little added space in the Children's Room and makes more usable the room which has to serve as a combined parent-teacher's room, story-hour room, and work room.
A fresh coat of paint on the walls and ceiling of the East Branch has brightened and lightened that library.
There have been many gifts of books to the Tufts Library during the past year and these are listed in an appendix to this report. The library is very grateful for such gifts. The librarian also wants to again express her appreciation to the Literature Committee of the Monday Club for their many years of service as a book reviewing committee for the library, and to the Weymouth Garden Club for the window gardens they have twice planted at the North Branch Library. The flowers have been ap- preciated by both public and staff and have been enjoyed both inside and outside the building.
In closing this, my final report to the Board of Trustees and to the town, I wish to express my deep appreciation for all the kindness, counsel and support that I have received from the Library Board, for the loyalty, help and friendship of my Library Staff, and for the kindness and friend- liness that has been shown me through the years by so very many of the library patrons.
Respectfully submitted, CHRISTINE E. EVARTS Town Librarian

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISIONERS
January 1, 1957
Honorable Board of Selectmen and
Citizens of the Town of Weymouth:
The Water Commissioners continued in 1956 with the same officers as in 1955, viz; Mr. Stanley T. Torrey as Chairman and Mr. Harry I. Granger as Clerk. Mr. Granger was re-appointed as Treasurer and Collector and Mr. Dizer as accountant. Sydney C. Beane was re-appointed for his 17th year as Superintendent.
In March 1956, Weston and Sampson, our consulting engineers, issued their final report on the requirements of the Weymouth Water Works for a population of 60,000 people.
Following their recommendations, the Board is proceeding with (a) construction of a new standpipe in South Weymouth, (b) to establish a new emergency well supply, (c) to install improvements to pipe lines and pumps at Filtration Plant and to (d) continue with the reinforcing pro- gram. With the help of the General Fund of the Water Department, together with the balances left from 1956 bond issue, it is hoped to carry out this program without additional bond issue in 1957.
An appropriation in 1956 from the Surplus Account of the Water Department provided for a much needed addition to our stock room, shops and garage facilities at Hollis Street. This work was engineered by our Department and constructed by contract with E. J. Rose and Son of Brain- tree.
Emphasis on maintenance of the Works was placed on the Filtration Plant during the year. Improvement was made in the wash water lagoon, and many items within the plant were overhauled.
Contracts were let for water main construction, including new street acceptances, totalling about $130,000. There were 321 new services in- stalled as well as about a mile of new mains installed by developers.
Legistlative hearings were attended by the Board to register disap- proval on a proposed recreation system by the Metropolitan Commission which included the shores of our water supply. We also attended the hear- ing on proposed pipe line by the Metropolitan District Commission to supply the South Eastern section of the state to include Weymouth, Brain- tree and other towns. Our consultant reports also on the increased cost of water to the Town if Weymouth joins with the Metropolitan System. They advise postponement of joining with the Metropolitan System as long as Weymouth can meet the demand with local sources of water. The State Department of Public Works provided a co-operative hearing on their proposed alteration to roads and utilities by reason of the new Express- way.
Rules and Regulations were amended to require service saddles on all asbestos cement water mains, and also to increase the deposit for new services from $50.00 to $100.00.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
January 1, 1957
To the Weymouth Board of Water Commissioners:
Your Superintendent submits herewith his 18th annual report, which is the 73rd annual report of the Water Department, for the year 1956.
The early portion of the year was marked with heavy snows which delayed starting of main construction. The Department let contracts how- ever, for some 17,000 lineal feet of water mains at a cost of about $130,000. There were fewer new services this year than previously, totalling 321.
Contracts were established for roadway to, for foundation for, and steel construction and erection of the new Standpipe at South Weymouth off Park Avenue. This Standpipe is to be erected early in 1957 by Pittsburgh Des Moines Steel Company.
Anticipating a stepped up program on roads and drainage during 1957, major attention to the System this year was given to maintenance prob- lems at the Pumping Station. This included cleaning and improvement to the wash water lagoon, a new starter apparatus for No. 4 pump, to- gether with spares for future breakdowns, change of location of Electric meter by Power Company, cleaning of Switch Board by Power Company, loss of head guages checked, new oil burner and installation of hot water tank, new bearing in No. 8 pump, new 4" wash water valve, and continua- tion of renewal of 12" hydraulic valves.
Reinforcing program progressed with a total of 7661 lineal feet installed on Summer, Kingman, Columbian Streets and on Ledgehill Road.
Indivudal meters have been installed in 95% of the North Weymouth Housing Authority.
Several conferences have been held with the Engineers on the layout of alterations to the water lines necessitated by the Expressway crossing the streets in Weymouth, especially the interchange at Main Street. Our concern is with the posible interference with the purity of the Main Street Well due to this construction, as well as to maintain continuous access and operation. The State Department of Public Health has advised the State Department of Public Works of the necessity to keep this facility in opera- tion without damage.
Regarding personnel, Mr. Lopaus joined our office force as Office Manager in January of 1956. Mr. Connors was added to our Pumping Station force, and Messrs. Farren and Mott were added to the labor force. Mr. Peaslee resigned.
New equipment included replacements of old addressograph machine, adding machine, truck, and car for the Superintendent.
It is recommended that the Bantam Backhoe be replaced in 1957 after six years service.
Your superintendent appreciates the full cooperation of the Board of Water Commissioners throughout the year, and also the cooperation of all departments of the town.
Details of the past year's activities are listed in the following tables.
Respectfully submitted, SIDNEY C. BEANE Superintendent
