Resolutions


In the passing of Sandy Roulston the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library has lost a faithful mem- ber.


He was a Trustee from 1955 to 1957. His experi- ence, good judgment and wise counsel proved valuable to the Board and he won the respect of all with whom he was brought in contact.


Mindful of his association and work in behalf of this organization, the Board of Trustees gratefully record its appreciation by adopting the following :


Be is resolved that the Trustees of Tufts Library express their high appreciation of Sandy Roulston's services and interest in whatever concerned the reading public and those matters that have promoted the welfare of this institution.


Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the records of this organization and a copy sent to his family and included in the town report

SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY


To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth:


In making their annual report to the Town, the Trustees of Tufts Library wish, first of all, to express their thanks to Miss Christine Evarts for her long years of service to the Library. Miss Evarts retired on Feb- ruary 15 last, after twenty-five years as Town Librarian. Her able and conscientious work in the position will not be soon forgotten, and the North Weymouth Branch Library will remain a monument to her skill and knowledge of library needs.


To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Evarts the Trus- tees interviewed a number of candidates from near and far. After due consideration they were happy to find the most likely candidate on their own staff, and the Assistant Town Librarian, Mrs. Eleanor Cooney, was promoted to fill the vacancy. Again, to fill the second vacancy, the Trus- tees found another member of the staff a likely candidate for the position of Assistant Town Librarian. Miss Alice Mulready was accordingly pro- moted to the second vacancy. To the best of their knowledge, the Trustees are glad to report that both candidates are doing good work.


The same problems confront the Tufts Library that were present last year and the years just before it. The two branch libraries at North and East Weymouth are increasing in circulation by leaps and bounds, and the Trustees hear very favorable comments regarding the work of the two Branch Librarians, Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Thompson.


The main library building in Washington Square continues to be the biggest problem. It is an old building, erected in the early 1890's, built to house a small collection of books. In her annual report, the Librarian clearly states some of the problems occasioned by this outmoded and in- adequate building. Moreover, the building is much out of repair and is constantly in need of emergency replacements. This year a chimney had to be rebuilt. Next year it will be some other unexpected repair job.


The Trustees are looking for some acceptable site for a new library building. They are open to suggestions and hope to have something to offer before the year is over.


The Trustees also wish to express their appreciation of the years of service on the Library Board of Mr. Sandy Roulston. As is well known Mr. Roulston died on the way home from a meeting of this Board. As Selectman ex-officio and as an elected Trustee, Mr. Roulston gave many long years of service to the Tufts Library. He was always an active mem- ber of the Board, and his counsel was always wise and helpful.


Respectfully submitted, FRANKLIN N. PRATT


President of the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library

REPORT OF THE TOWN LIBRARIAN


To the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library:


The year 1957 has esen continued growth in the Tufts Library. Cir- culation has risen 9% overall. We are increasing our number of active borrowers by at least a thousand each year. At present more than one- third of the town's population hold library cards. Not only are more books being borrowed, but the use of our reference service is increasing.


All this activity has its center in an outmoded, inefficient building built sixty-seven years ago. Our services to adults are hampered by our crowded quarters at the Main Library. The extra pressure which an en- larged high school student body exerts and the increasing use of the li- brary by this group put demands on our services which we should be better equipped to meet. We need more space for study and for browsing in the library for all our adult groups - the commuting student, the young parents, the adults who are trying to keep up with changing vocational situations by further study, and the group of retired people in the com- munity who want to spend their leisure in a constructive way.


All the books which the library distributes throughout the town must first be processed in the cramped working space at the Main Library. However widespread our distribution points through branches and station libraries, the Main Library is still the source and reservoir from which these smaller libraries must draw. By storing infrequently used material in the attic we have been able to make a little more shelf space available at the Main Library, but we are reaching the limit of possibilities.


Last spring we conducted a survey of our borrowers, asking them for suggestions regarding their public library and its services. One frequent request was for more technical books, and many definite needs were cited. We thank those who gave our survey their thoughtful attention. The Library will endeavor to fill the needs expressed by its users.


The work with children continues to grow. Last June Miss Trussell, the Children's Librarian, awarded reading certificates to 1,020 children who had read twenty or more books and made reports on them. More than 10,000 books were loaned to schools in classroom collections. On the average each book was read by at least five pupils. The close cooperation of the school department in this reading program helps to make it suc- cessful. During the winter months the story hours held weekly in the Children's Room and at the North and East Branch libraries are well at- tended. Our growing business at the station libraries is largely with children.


The library should be a door opening on new horizons - we try to make it so for the individual reader through a wide and well-balanced stock of books. A number of library users have found new doors to knowl- edge through the discussions in the Great Books Groups - three are now meeting regularly - two at the Main Library and one at North Wey- mouth. The continuing interest in this program is remarkable.


The library is grateful for the gifts of books received during the year; the donors are listed in an appendix to this report. Several individuals have presented books in memory of friends. The North Branch Library has again enjoyed the flowers planted by the Weymouth Garden Club.


In spite of shortages in library personnel we were able to fill staff vacancies last spring and have enjoyed the benefits of a complete staff


287


since May 1st. Mrs. Edith T. Sanborn was appointed Young People's Li- brarian; Mrs. Caroline Harris, Senior Assistant; and Mrs. Arlene Cole, Assistant Children's Librarian. When Miss Christine E. Evarts retired on February 15th, I became Town Librarian, a task made easier by her years of wise and skilful administration. Miss Alice T. Mulready was appointed Assistant Town Librarian at this time. I am grateful to all the members of the library staff for their loyalty and enthusiasm, and to the Board of Trustees for their helpfulness and support during this year.


Respectfully submitted, ELEANOR T. COONEY Town Librarian

ENGINEERING REPORT ON DRAINS


January 16, 1958


Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Weymouth Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


In accordance with the vote on Article 24 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1955, that the sum of $30,000.00 be raised and appropriated for the preparation of a detailed engineering report, which would include plans and profiles of all existing and recommended main drains with estimates of cost; also recommended that the Moderator appoint a committee of five to obtain said report, the contract of $30,000.00 for a detailed engineer- ing report was completed by Metcalf and Eddy on March 15, 1957 and con- tains 231 pages and 51 charts.


The suggested construction program is set up in districts with sug- gested priority and estimated costs; but does not include the Smelt Brook drainage system which was completed earlier in a separate report.


The articles requesting monies for the Smelt Brook drainage system received no support from the town meetings in Braintree and Weymouth in 1957. In May of 1957, the Weymouth Drainage Committee and the Braintree Flood Control Committee made joint application to the federal government for funds to correct the drainage in Weymouth Landing.


On December 6, 1957, a communication was received from Stanley W. Dziuban, Colonel, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, in which he stated he had placed the Montiquot and Smelt Brook problems on the list of Public Law 685, better known as the Bush-McCormack Act, to be looked into by their engineers.


We wish to extend our thanks to Representatives Hollis and Thomp- son for their support on the applications for federal assistance on the Smelt Brook program.


The Committee feels that the attached suggested program as outlined by Metcalf and Eddy should be followed in appropriating monies for fu- ture drainage works.


Respectfully submitted, ANDREW A. CHISHOLM, Chairman EDGAR F. WALKER, Secretary LAURIE J. ESTERBROOK ARTHUR H. MOSHER DANIEL J. SLATTERY

REPORT OF THE WEYMOUTH CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT SYSTEM


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and


The Citizens of Weymouth


The Weymouth Retirement Board, in accordance with the provisions of Section 20, 4 (b), Chapter 32, General Laws (Ter. Ed.), as amended has carried out the duties entrusted to them for the Contributory Retire- ment System of the Town of Weymouth.


There have been several new enrollments and six retirements during the year. One of the retirements, Mr. Emrson R. Dizer, had been a mem- ber of the retirement board since the system was started in 1937. His vast knowledge of the system will be greatly missed, not only by the mem- bers of the board, but also by the membership of the entire system. We all wish him a happy retirement after forty-five years of service with the Town of Weymouth.
