146TH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES
On January 1, 1957 Miss D. Marjorie Taylor became Librarian of The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library. Her first year marked improvements in the main and branch libraries. Both the Librarian and members of her staff have given book reviews for local clubs and Miss Taylor spoke on WBZ. Miss Taylor became an American citizen in October.
In July Mrs. Evelyn B. Henderson was appointed Supervisor of Adult Services. Mrs. Earl Reed, Children's Librarian and valued member of the staff resigned, effective August 31. The trustees faced the task of attract- ing a qualified librarian to Wakefield under the present salary scale. As a result the library has functioned without the services of a children's libra- rian during the last four months of the year.
On October tenth the trustees accepted with sincere regret the resig- nation of Mrs. Leslie A. Needham who had served the board ably in many capacities since January 2, 1946. At a joint meeting of selectmen and library trustees on November 5, Mr. Moses M. Frankel was elected to the vacancy.
Two new trust funds were established during the year: the Eva Gowing Ripley Memorial Fund, the income to be used for the good of the library, and the Robert V. Chipman Trust Fund for phonograph records.
The Jr. Chamber of Commerce, following the suggestion of its national organization, sponsored "Operation Library" with Mr. Whitman Browne, chairman. Under this heading one article has appeared in the local paper and others will follow in 1958.
In support of the educational and cultural interests of the town, two successful exhibits were held in the library lecture hall. In April occurred the annual exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Society. During the first week in December paintings by members of the Wakefield Art Association were displayed. There have been many lesser exhibits in the lobby and in the youth and children's room.
A "No Fine Week" in April returned many over - due books to the shelves.
Through the year the housing and the expanding of the services of the branch libraries have concerned the trustees. In the fast growing com- munity of Montrose the increase in circulation figures warranted opening the Montrose branch on an additional day beginning in September. The trustees sought to develop a long range plan of adequate and economical library service to the town. Contacts were made with the Elementary School Planning Committee, the new Junior High School Building Com- mittee and the Town Finance Committee. An article, however, asking the town to appropriate a sum of money not to exceed $1,000 to be used by the Junior High School Planning Committee to prepare an alternate set of plans incorporating a library branch in the proposed Junior High School was defeated by a special Town Meeting on November 12.
The main and branch library buildings and their equipment have been repaired and improved within the limits of the budget.

REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Library Trustees:
"We are determined that the library shall be equal to the demand for a readily accessible place where all people may find practical information and aesthetic enjoyment, where Americans may be helped to achieve the ideals of our democratic society."*
In this, my first annual report to the people of Wakefield as their librarian, I hope to show how the library and its staff are attempting to reach this goal. Our building is a readily accessible place, and during the year we have put a sign on the outside giving hours of opening and other pertinent information, and signs on the inside showing the location of books. New lighting in the book stacks has helped to make book titles more easily read, and intensive discarding of outworn or outdated books throughout the collection and their replacement by new titles or revised editions has improved the appearance of the shelves and the usefulness of the book stock.
With the appointment of a Supervisor of Adult Services and a conse- quent improvement in reader advisor service, greater use is being made of reference resources, and as more reference tools are added during the com- ing months we hope still more people will take advantage of this service. The reference collection is being slowly revised and enlarged to fill the needs of college students and business men who more and more are using the room. Reference books as far apart in interest as the Handibook of Chemistry and Physics, the Hammond Sport Atlas and Moody's Industrials, have been added. Material has been added to the pamphlet file, but so far time has not allowed for extensive reorganization. Approximately 1,860 reference questions have been answered, covering a wide variety of inter- ests - parties and pet care, business addresses, books on gambling for the man moving to Nevada, the date of the first Cadillac and the meaning of "mind your p's and q's."
Through the Inter-Library loan scheme which operates between Mas- sachusetts libraries we have borrowed 70 volumes and loaned 42.
The picture collection is undergoing weeding and recataloging, and
*L. Quincy Mumford. ALA Conference 1955

146TH ANNUAL REPORT
many new pictures have been added. There has been a frequent change of pictures on the balcony with displays of books to match, and a poster at the foot of the stairs informs the public of the current display.
The record collection is in process of renumbering and cataloging. This should be completed during the coming year. An average of one new record each week is added to the collection which is being increasingly used by patrons. A new unit of catalog drawers gives added space for cards, but more space is urgently needed for the records, and it is obvious that some alternative method of housing them must be devised or the service will have to be curtailed.
1957 has been a year of increased activity and growth in the Youth Room. More Junior and Senior High School students are using the room for reading, reference and study. We have had as many as 43 students at the tables at one time.
Approximately 3,000 reference questions have been answered, ranging from amoeba to Zambesi. The most elusive question to which an answer was found was "What is an iron chink?" Many new books have been added, including a new encyclopedia set. The college catalog section has been brought up to date, seven new periodicals added and plastic covers bought for all current periodicals, thus improving their appearance and their life.
Our endeavor throughout has been to make the room more attractive to young people, and to this end a bulletin board and display case were in- stalled and a decorative note added by a large and excellent ship model lent to the library by Thomas Hanson. On the bulletin board we post book reviews, notices and many items of interest to teen-agers. The display case is being used to encourage the hobbies of our young people. So far five students have exhibited and there is a waiting list.
At least once a month there has been a poster on display accompanied by a collection of suitable books. It is a pleasure to note that several stu- dents have shown enough interest to paint the posters for some of these displays and for the Christmas season.
The youth librarian has visited both Junior and Senior High School Libraries and has instructed this year's 7th grades in the use of our library.
With the resignation of Mrs. Earl Reed in August the Children's Room lost an excellent librarian, and the children a good friend. During the fall the work has been carried on by Mrs. Alfred Montuori, senior as- sistant, who came to us from the Fitchburg Youth Library.
In this department as in the other sections of the library greater em- phasis is being placed on reference work. The children come to the library to do their school work and use the books in the room instead of taking them home.
The children's librarian visited the schools before the summer vaca- tion and talked to the children about the summer reading club, which proved a great success, with 396 children registering and 201 reading more than the required 10 books. At the last meeting of the club movies were shown, prizes awarded and ice cream and cookies, the gift of the Lions' Club and the Holiday Bakery, were served.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
In the spring and fall pre-school story hours proved a great success, while the film programs on Friday afternoons have been well attended.
Displays and exhibits during the year have included several loaned by interested townspeople - Mrs. Guillow's Beatrix Potter Figurines, Miss Johnson's Dolls of Storybook Land, and Mr. deAnguerra's model grain ele- vator. During Spring Book Week, Mr. Steven Crosby entertained some 300 children with movies of Disneyland.
Special book collections have been sent to schools, camps, kindergarten and playgrounds, and the librarian has reviewed books, and told stories at many of these institutions.
A number of kindergartens have visited the library, and in the fall several 6th grades were taught to use the library tools not only to find books, but also the answers to school questions.
1957 was the first full year for the present Greenwood Branch Librarian. During the year the adult and young people's collections have been weeded, and arranged in a more convenient manner. In spite of this shelves are still crowded and more space is urgently needed.
In an effort to reach more teen-agers, a new bulletin board has been set up, a collection of college catalogs started, and vertical file and maga- zine file made more easily available for their use.
The picture collection has been weeded and added to, and new colored signs used on the shelves in an effort to brighten the room. Also a display case has been made use of, new exhibits and book displays being arranged every few weeks.
The children's summer reading program was extended to the branches this year and a fourth grader from Greenwood was top reader of all three libraries.
The Montrose Branch is in the heart of a growing community where many new homes are being built. The people who use the library look upon it as their own, and take a great interest in it.
During the year the appearance of the library has been improved-the land drained, a sidewalk and path added and grass seeds and shrubs planted in the front yard. Inside, the walls and ceiling were painted and look cleaner and more cheerful.
A pre-school story hour was started in October and is well attended. In response to a request from a number of parents the library was opened for an extra period on Wednesday afternoons, and this has proved popular not only with the Junior High School Group for which the service was primarily intended, but also with grade school children and adults.
All six grades at the Montrose School have visited the library with their teachers. The visits not only taught the children how to make the best use of the library, but also made for greater cooperation between teachers and librarian.
Adult borrowing has increased and it has become a challenge to the librarian to find sufficient of the right kind of books to satisfy the patrons.
It is our aim at both branches to provide a place where children and adults will feel at home, a place where they can not only find the right kind
79
146TH ANNUAL REPORT
of books for home reading, but can find an adequate reference section to answer their questions.
It is easy in writing a report to mention only those aspects of library work which are in the public eye, but the fact that 3,519 books were added to the stock during the year means that a great deal of work was done be- hind the scenes by the cataloging and processing staff; while the register- ing of 1,137 new borrowers and the reregistering of 610 old borrowers means added work for all concerned.
Respectfully submitted,
D. MARJORIE TAYLOR, Librarian
