During National Library Week the librarians of junior and senior high schools planned, together with the Tufts Library, to put on two programs for junior and senior high school students. One was a panel of authors who write books of interest to junior high school pupils; another a panel of speakers of interest to senior high school students, included Bill Cleary, the Olympic hockey star, who told about his experiences repre- senting America behind the Iron Curtain. Other special activities of the library have included a Great Books Group which meets regularly at the Main Library as well as two larger meetings for all the South Shore Great Books Groups at the North Branch Library, and a craft group for older women which has been meeting in the Children's Room on Monday morn- ings. The Story and Film Programs for children have been carried on at the Main Library and at the North Branch as in recent years. Films from the library's collection have been shown at fifty-six meetings of various Weymouth organizations during the past year.
A number of people have given books to the library or have presented books as memorial gifts. These have all been marked with appropriate book plates. In the case of duplicate gifts, the Librarian has sent several cartons of these to the Wellfleet Library which was destroyed by fire last year. In mentioning the gifts we have received during the year, we should also realize that the library has had many benefactors in the past who have left trust funds. This past year the income from these funds enabled the library to purchase about thirteen hundred dollars worth of books and records. These funds enable the library to enrich its collection beyond the money received from the Town and are a permanent memorial to the thoughtfulness of the people who gave them for the use of the Towns- people.
Many hours of volunteer help have been given by Weymouth Girl Scouts as part of their community service and has been greatly appreciated by the library, for their efforts have enabled us to carry on a number of extra activities. The Weymouth Gardeners have furnished many lovely flower arrangements throughout the year as well as making a very special
247
effort during National Library Week. The Weymouth Garden Club has planted the annual beds at the North Branch.
The next few years hold out the possibility of attaining many long sought goals in the library field. The Staff is stimulated by the possibility of a new Main Library Building, and we all must bend our efforts to plan- ning the building most suitable to the needs of the Town. I thank you all, both Staff and Trustees, for your continued interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, ELEANOR T. COONEY Town Librarian
