149TH ANNUAL REPORT
The Greenwood Branch Library has shown a great increase in service during the past year. Situated as it is in the Greenwood School building a great deal of the work is with children, but adult use is once more grow- ing, and the opening of the library on Friday mornings is proving increas- ingly popular. Circulation has increased 3,083.
Here, as at the main library, a successful summer reading program was held, while teachers have increased their requests for classroom deposits and pictures. Pupils are taking an interest in the display case and have provided material for monthly displays. The appearance of the room has been improved by the provision of Venetian blinds at the front windows and new tops to study tables. Miss Bolster, Greenwood librarian, is pleased with the improvement in behavior at the branch in spite of increase in book circulation and use of the room for study.
The Montrose Branch library has also given increased service to the community it serves, by being open an additional afternoon, thus offering eighteen library hours a week. In addition about 35 children have regularly attended the Wednesday morning pre-school story hour conducted by Mrs. Waterworth, Branch librarian. The addition of a new study table and extra bookcase has relieved the congestion, borrowers have made full use of the facilities offered - book circulation shows an increase of 5,050 over last year. Inventory has been taken and new books added so that the book stock can meet demands for study and recreational reading. The building has been improved by the addition of a new roof, made necessary by hurricane damage, new gutters and exterior painting, and the new sidewalk and curbing makes it easier of access in bad weather. The Mon- trose section is growing all the time and residents have shown their appre- ciation of their library by joining and using it extensively.
This report on the year's work would be incomplete if it neglected to mention the work done behind the scenes. Miss Gladys Mackenzie, Cataloguer, with the help of the Youth and Children's librarians, has catalogued over 4,000 books and supervised the filing of catalog cards for the new books and withdrawing cards for 3,000 discarded books. Mrs. Grace Eaton has prepared these new books for circulation and mended hundreds of books during the year.
The work of the library staff is not confined within the library walls. In addition to visits to schools already mentioned, staff members have spoken to clubs and parent-teacher groups, have attended professional meetings and conferences, assisted in book and film reviewing for libraries in the district, and worked with various town organizations. The library is a part of the community life of the town, as was demonstrated particu- larly during National Library Week when civic clubs and private citizens helped the library staff present a varied program of meetings designed to, "Open wonderful new worlds" through books. The Wakefield Item was generous with publicity for National Library Week and throughout the year.
Many groups use the library hall for meetings and exhibits, thus strengthening the bond between library and community. For several years the Wakefield Art Association has displayed its, "Picture of the
74
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Month," at the main library and this year has chosen one each month for each of the branch libraries.
For these contacts, for loan of material for our display cases, for flowers and gifts of books and for the many ways the citizens of Wakefield show their appreciation of their library and its staff we are grateful.

Respectfully submitted,

149TH ANNUAL REPORT
and the Gas Department installed
1,132 feet of Gas Mains
2,706 feet of Service Pipes 36 New Services
At the end of the year there were 4,562 gas meters and 7904 electric meters in use, which is a decrease of 11 gas meters and an increase of 157 electric meters.
ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
An additional 13,800 volt supply line was installed underground, from the Stoneham line to our Wakefield Avenue substation and equipment for this line was installed at the substation. This gives us a total of four supply lines.
Land was purchased on Ballister Street on the West Side for a new substation site and a 5,000 KVA transformer and switchgear were installed at this location. The station will be placed in service in 1961 and will be named for Matthew J. Burns, a beloved employee for many years.
During the year 38 transformers, totalling 2300 KVA, were added to our lines and 58 new street lights were installed.
Our peak load during December was 12,456 kilowatts and our kilowatt hour sales increased nearly 14% over 1959.
GAS DEPARTMENT
Gas mains and services were replaced on several streets which the Town was reconstructing.
The customary Summer and Winter surveys were made for gas leak- age prevention.
During the past several years there have been small increases in the cost of gas from the Transmission Company while our prices have remained un- changed. In 1960 there was a substantial increase which we have been able to absorb up to the present.
We thank the members of the Municipal Light Board for their guid- ance and counsel and the employees for their loyalty and cooperation. Financial Statement follows:
