TRUSTEES' REPORT
The Trustees of the Beebe Town Library herewith present the 30th Annual Report of that Institution. From its very meagre beginning, when its objects and aims were but indefi- nitely understood, when its designs and purposes were clearly apprehended but by a few, this armor bearer to the Public Schools, this fountain of mental supply to the homes and firesides of our town, has broadened and developed by the fostering care of the people, until now, with its more than 8000 volumes, with the bountiful spread upon the tables of its grand adjunct, the Public Reading Room, it has become a public necessity.
LIBRARIAN.
At the commencement of the year it was believed that our former efficient librarian would so far have recovered her health as to be able to at once resume her duties. She had been absent on account of family afflictions, and had herself broken under the strain of sorrow, and was reported, upon her re-election to the position, to be too sick to either accept or decline the election. In consequence of her continued illness, the services of Miss Helen J. Taylor, a personal friend of Miss Marsh, were secured, and during her admin- istration of the office, the people were served with fidelity, and by her kindly assistance and eminent ability she won for herself the warm commendations of the Trustees, and the sincere regards of the patrons of the Library, but during the month of October the fact became known to the Trustees
206
that Miss Marsh would not be able ever again to assume the duties of Librarian. Her disease had assumed a form which called forth the profound regrets and the deepest sympathies of the people. The supreme element of life had departed. The body was here, but that which orders, directs and con- trols was gone ; the mechanical life remains, but through the hazy atmosphere of clouded faculties, aimless and orderless, that life still gropes and wanders with uncertain tread.
Upon receiving this information that, so far as Miss Marsh was concerned, the office of Librarian was vacant, the Trustees felt it to be a duty to the public to make a perma- nent appointment of Librarian. The eminent fitness of Miss Taylor presented a strong claim for her appointment, but equally strong reasons were urged for the appointment of a resident of Wakefield, and among the five applicants for the position, Mrs. Hattie A. Shepard, well and favorably known to the people of Wakefield, was selected, and she has per- formed the duties with ability and untiring faithfulness.
In view of the continued illness of Miss Marsh, the follow- ing resolutions, prepared by the Secretary, were read and unanimously adopted by the Trustees :
Whereas the Trustees of the Beebe Town Library learn with great regret of the continuance of the malady of mind which still afflicts our late librarian, Miss Victorine E. Marsh, and recalling the high qualities which fitted her for the service of this institution, and which in her long connec- tion with it were constantly ripening, they desire to express and place upon their records their regrets, by the following Resolutions, to be entered thereon :
Resolved, -That we sympathize with herself and family in their affliction, and that we desire to express sincere appre- ciation of Miss Marsh's long and satisfactory service as Libra- rian ofthe Beebe Town Library, of Wakefield, Mass,-and the unselfishness of spirit which she always exhibited in the per- formance of her duty as such ; the recollection of which will be ever cherished by the Trustees and patrons of the library.
Each year of her administration has borne witness to her fidelity to her charge, and the animating spirit of her efforts®
207
has always shed a lustre upon the mission of the library- and Time-which appraises us all at our just valuation, will ever accord to her efforts in the past, the tribute of faithful duty well performed.
RESIGNATIONS.
During the year two resignations of members of the Board of Trustees have been received. That of Mr. Eugene O'Hea and Rev. W. H. Morrison. Mr. Morrison has removed from his pastorate in Wakefield, to another State, and his resig- nation had been received late in the year. Mr. O'Hea's was received early in the year, and Mr. R.H. Mitchell was elect- ed in his place.
BEQUEST OF DR. F. P. HURD.
We deem it but just to recognize in our report, the bequest of Dr. Francis P. Hurd. We are sensible of the fact that the unassuming benevolence of the donor would shun any parade of publicity in such a bequest. But we believe the people desire to place upon the records of that institution so nobly benefited by his act, their just appreciation of his thoughtfulness, and of his manifest interest in the Library ever since its organization.
CATALOGUE.
For a long time the Trustees have felt the need of a new Catalogue, but from various causes have made no recommen- dations as to its preparation. Now, however, the necessity seems to arise for presenting to the town an appeal for that purpose. During the continuance of Miss Marsh as Libra- rian, the need was hardly felt, for she had grown up with the system of classification and arrangement of books, and had made the system her own. Consequently she knew just where to find a book as soon as inquiry was made, and the classification by topics and numbers was familiar to her. But with the large number of books now in the library, with con-
208
stant additions, it has become of first importance, that a more simple and effective method of supply to the increasing demand be adopted, and the old numbers, together with the numerous additions made since the old Catalogue was printed, be re-arranged, to meet more promptly the business of delivery. We think this can be done with little if any expense to the town except as a loan. Already a large num- ber of patrons of the library have signified their desire to purchase a copy, should one be published, and we have no doubt many more will purchase if such action is taken. We think sufficient funds will be received from their sale.to repay any appropriation which the town may be called upon to make for that purpose.
PUBLIC READING ROOM.
This feature of the living, vital elements of the present and future, is too pregnant with possibilities and too large with human endeavor to be lightly treated or casually mentioned. The brightest thought of the present, the richest treasures of the past, and the thronging conceptions of the future, are there spread out for the intellectual treat of the visitor. It is true, there are some papers of a light and frivolous nature, but these are but leading strings to a more healthful diet. Milk for babes and meat for strong men. The design is to present to an infinite variety of tastes, the most healthful of mental and moral nutriment. We cannot ignore the fact, if we would, that a more complete manhood, a larger life and a more helpful womanhood, comes from the atmosphere which surrounds its unnumbered ora- tors, and which influences and determines in countless ways the moulding and developing of the youthful character, and which adds immeasurably to the stability and integrity of the unfolding mind. In this connection we desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. Henry C. Hall, the janitor of the Reading Room, for his efficient services in promoting the order and well being of this institution, for we realize how
209
much of watchfulness and care is needed at times to temper with even balanced judgment, the control of public and promiscuous gatherings.
DETAILS.
The reports of the Treasurer and Librarian are herewith presented, showing the concise details of their various official duties. 9

SUGGESTIONS.
During the past year, frequent inquiry and interested dis- cussion developes a sentiment, more or less prevalent, of a desire on the part of a portion of the people to enjoy the benefits of the Public Reading Room on Sunday. That many would be benefited who otherwise might pass a cheer- less Sunday, or not unlikely misuse the day. is probable. The gentle, quiet and orderly character of the place on other days, would seem to be a guarantee of its usefulness in this direction.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Trustees recommend :
First,-That the town appropriate the sum of $400 and the proceeds of the dog tax for the support of the Library, and $325 for the support of the Public Reading Room for the ensuing year.
Second,-That the town authorize the Trustees to prepare and publish a new Catalogue for the Library, and appropri- ate the sum of $500 therefor.
In behalf of the Trustees,

Trustee.
