The Montrose branch continues to be well patronized by children and adults and the pre-school story hour on Wednesday mornings is enjoyed by 30-40 children each week. Mrs. Waterworth, branch librarian, reports an improvement in discipline among the school children. The addition of a periodical case, new tops to some of the tables and bookcases in the back room has improved the appearance and made for greater efficiency in running the branch.
At the main library the youth room was painted, the landscaping at the front concluded, the staff parking lot enlarged, a new section added to the main catalog and the charging desk in the children's room enlarged to take care of the increased business.
The Greenwood branch library, which operated in reduced space for the first half of the year, finally closed on September 30th so that the Greenwood School might have another classroom. Books and furniture were packed and stored in the school basement until the new branch, being built in conjunction with the new Greenwood fire station, is ready for use in the early spring.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Mrs. Grace Eaton, who worked as book processor for fifteen years retired from the staff in October and her place was taken by Mrs. Margaret Gardner, formerly assistant in the children's room.
Many organizations have used the lecture hall during the year, and many citizens have given books and loaned exhibits and the Banjo Club again gave us $100 to buy recordings for the library. The librarian and the staff are grateful for these evidences of interest in the library, and par- ticularly for the interest and support of the Library Board.
