147TH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES
The Trustees of The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library held ten regular meetings and three special meetings in 1958.
In the important question of state aid to libraries it is the concensus of the board to keep the local library town supported and town controlled. In October Mr. Lynch was elected vice-president of The Massachusetts Library Trustees Association.
On the evening of June 19, the North Shore Branch of the Library Trustees' Association met in Wakefield.
Miss D. Marjorie Taylor was present at the 77th Conference of The American Library Association at San Francisco July 13-19. Two members of the staff have also taken accredited courses in Library Science.
At a special Town Meeting on December 1st, at the recommendation of the Library and Personnel Boards, the town voted to raise the pro- fessional group of staff members one classification. This change brought their salaries nearer to the recommendations of The American Library Association.
The October and December meetings of the Library Board were held in Montrose and Greenwood respectively, to acquaint the Trustees with the services and the physical conditions of these branches. Three meetings gave special consideration to reports of the finance, book and personnel committees. Town Treasurer, Paul Lazzaro, was present on February 13 to participate in the discussion of Library Trust Funds and their investments.
At the first meeting of the year, January 9, 1958, the Trustees voted to accept the resignation of Hervey J. Skinner, out of respect to his wishes, with reluctance and regret. Mr. Skinner gave almost forty-seven years of service to the people of Wakefield and their library. He was elected first to the Library Board on March 6, 1911 and he became Chairman in 1933. During his term of office the resources of the library increased manifold. The Trustees gave a dinner in honor of Mr. Skinner on the evening of March 18.
On January 21, 1958, a joint meeting of Selectmen and Trustees elected Leslie Wilson to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Skinner.
Change of residence necessitated the resignation of John J. Round, Jr. on November 13, 7958. For thirty years a member of the Round family has served the library and again the Board regretted the loss of a valued member.
In May the Trustees accepted a bequest of $2000 to the library from the estate of John J. Round, Sr. and placed, "The Tree Identification Book" by George Symonds and Stephen Chiminski in the library in his memory.
An account in the Wakefield Savings Bank entitled "Juvenile Book Fund" was opened with a gift of $2000 under the will of Mrs. Ethel K. Dutton. Mrs. Dutton was an interested and generous patron of the library and her late husband, Dr. Richard Dutton, was a fifty-year member of the Library Board. The Avon Street neighbors gave $10 for the purchase of a book in memory of Mrs. Dutton.
