Report of the Library Trustees
The Trustees of the Beebe Town Library herewith subinit to the citizens of the town their report of the work done in various directions during the year, of the progress made in certain established lines of action, of new ideas brought into use, together with suggestions for the future
Two travelling libraries have been loaned us for short periods during the year. From the Massachusetts Agricultural College 8 books and 4 pamphlets were received and kept for eight weeks. A considerably larger number of volumns had been selected by the librarian from a list sent by the college but only those received were available at the time.
The Travelling Health Library was secured through the efforts of the Kosmos Club from the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs. There were 42 books, 62 pamphlets and 30 photographs in the collection. The photographs were exhibited in the delivery room a few at a time as space could be found for them. This collection was kept for six weeks.
The arrival of these books was noted and their purpose adver- tised and they were exhibited on open shelves where the patrons of the library could examine them freely.
On account of the awkwardness of the different bimonthly bulletins from variation in shape and size, the Trustees in July arranged to have all bulletins issued hereafter printed in the form of a folder and kept at a uniform size.
One of the Trustees, Miss E. F. Ingram, aided by the Librarian, has been compiling a classified list of books in the library for the reading of the young people of the town.
In the Reading Room, three magazines were dropped from the subscription list and six were added. Those added were The American City, Home Needlework, The Horseless Age, Popular
132
Mechanics, Popular Electricity, and The Pictorial Review. All of these newly added magazines seem to be used considerably. The total number of magazines now in use is 53, and there are in addition 4 weekly and 7 daily papers.
Card pockets are now placed in the backs of all books. This scheme is not only highly appreciated by the patrons but a'so prevents loss of cards, obviates breaking and keeps the cards clean. At the same time a slight reduction in the size of the borrowers' car Is seemed advisable and the space for charging books thereon was rearranged for the convenience of the librarian.
New shelves have been erected in the delivery room for the express purpose of exhibiting books to the patrons of the library and allowing them to make their own selection. This feature is greatly appreciated by the reading public. New shelving has also been provided in the book stacks and in ot er needful places. Receptacles for those magazines allowed to circulate have been made, the room being borrowed, so to spea' , from the passage way, in such a manner that they are only slightly in the way.
In October, the Trustees added to the library "The Book of Knowledge," whose sub title, "The Children's Encyclopedia" is all too modest to describe the book. This fascinating work is in 20 volumes which are allowed to circulate in the regular man- ner. They cover all sorts of information that children ask questions about and became so instantaneously popular with the younger readers that it is not uncommon for every volume to be in circulation.
Early in December an exhibition of 11 books was made in the delivery room as Christmas suggestions of gifts for children. These suggestions were well received by the parents and the children all voted that the books be added to the library at once.
