worth in taking care of surplus standing water and made many a wet cellar dry. More drains are contemplated when local funds permit.
During the year a change was made in the assignment of workers on the WPA so that at present all assign- ments are made by the state headquarters in Boston fol- lowing investigation of the individual cases by the WPA District Office located in Brockton. The new system does not always work to the advantage of the most worthy cases.

Report of Trustees of Memorial Library
The Trustees of the Memorial Library submit the fol- lowing report for 1937:
No extensive repairs on the building were necessary. Minor repairs were made, and as the railings on the front steps had become loosened, new iron rods were put into the posts, and the posts reset in lead in the steps.
In the librarian's report which follows, the attention of the citizens is called to the increase in circulation. This was especially pleasing to the Trustees, as the aim of a library is to supply a community with worthwhile books and magazines. Another gratifying accomplishment was the research work done by students and other adults. In this the librarians gave efficient co-operation. The illus- trated lecture on the Diesel engine was in keeping with the trend of the times, for many libraries now include in their work the giving of lectures on various subjects by well-informed people.
The Trustees thank the Rockland Woman's Club for its gift of five dollars, and also those persons who have pre- sented books to the library.
From the Trust Funds, income has been paid out for books as follows :

By terms of the wills, income from the Zenas M. Lane Fund is restricted to the purchase of books of travel; of the Alice L. French Fund, of the Sarah J. Spence Fund, and of the Mothers Mutual Improvement Society Fund, to the purchase of books for children.
The terms of Annie E. McIlvene and Emily F. Craw- ford expire in 1938.
An appropriation of $4,200 plus the dog refund of $505.94 is recommended by the Trustees for 1938.

SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Librarians Report
To the Trustees of the Rockland Memorial Library:
The fifty-ninth report of this library is herewith sub- mitted.
A total of 61,558 books and magazines have been loaned for home use.
The average monthly circulation, 5,130. The average daily circulation, 209. Largest number delivered in one day, 401. Smallest number delivered in one day, 95.
Received for fines, reserved books, sale of cook books, subscriptions from non-residents, old magazines and books, $311.00.
Number of books added by purchase (including re- placements), 325. Number of books presented, 108. Number of books worn out and missing, 50. Number of books rebound, 48. Number of books in library on De- cember 31, 1937, 20,661.
Character of books loaned: literature, 4 per cent; his- tory and travel, 3 per cent; biography, 3 per cent; mis- cellaneous (adult), 6 per cent; fiction (adult), 54 per cent ;; fiction (juvenile), 12 per cent; miscellaneous (ju- venile), 5 per cent; magazines, 13 per cent.
The library is the agency which brings books and peo- ple together. The past year has not been marked by any unusual events, but has been one of steady service to the townspeople.
Quite a substantial increase in circulation is noted, and there would seem to be no limit to our circulation of books for home reading, were the stock adequate in
155
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
number and scope. Many come for specific titles, but most are satisfied with any good book on the topic of interest at the time.
Changes in the business, art and industrial world im- mediately react within the walls of the library. The ec- onomic depression brought to the library, individuals who had been previously only potential readers, but now have become active users of books.
It is a day when emphasis is being laid particularly upon adult education, yet without an adequate supply of books neither adults nor children will, of course, continue indefinitely as readers. Books they must have, old and new, if the habit is to persist.
The year was not an important one for the quality of fiction, and yet concentration of public attention upon one novel has been more marked than ever before. Re- quests for "Gone with the Wind" have been overwhelm- ing. Without questioning the excellence of the book one deplores the interest that distracts attention from other good novels. In the non-fiction there is a broader range for the reader pursues a subject more often than a title.
Fewer replacements were bought this year, and fewer books sent away for rebinding, in an effort to supply the best new books. Old books mended and remended have been kept on the shelves and many are in circulation which are absolutely unfit to be handled.
It is believed that the function of the public library, in its relation to schools, is primarily to supplement the school curriculum, but it is also their privilege to offer schools their knowledge of spontaneous reading inter- ests of young people. Instead of too general use of con- ventional reading lists we wonder if it isn't wiser to fit books boys and girls can read to their interests. Gen- eralizations about reading are always dangerous and
156
SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
every year finds an amazing diversity in reading ability. Almost everybody will read if they are given books they can read and about subjects of interest to them.
It is this mixture of reading interest and ability which makes the work with young people stimulating and sat- isfactory.
The reading for State Certificates continues active in the grades of the elementary schools, and in many in- stances is considered a part of their English course.
A new list of books was printed in 1936, combining with new titles the best of all previous lists. Our col- lection of these books is being slowly built up as funds allow.
In May, of this year, a free illustrated lecture was given at the library on the Diesel engine, by the Diesel Engine Institute. Our north room was filled to capac- ity and many benefited from knowledge gained on the scientific subject.
Again, this year, books were sent to the Merchant Marine Library Association. Books are always being solicited for this worthy cause, and we forward them as often as possible.
We are deeply grateful for the many gifts made to the library during 1937. Special mention should be made regarding the money from the Rockland Woman's Club, which was so much appreciated.
Prized highly also were the book marks given to us by the Rockland Savings Bank and Mr. George N. Beal. They are in constant demand and hundreds have been given out to adults as well as to children.
An unusual number of books of fiction were contri- buted by friends of the library and enough cannot be
157
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
said in appreciation since it has been hard to meet de- mands for old popular types.
An attractive array of student paintings and draw- ings was on display from the schools again this year, although most of our exhibits in 1937 were books and other material owned by the library.
If the work of the library is to grow, it must be aided by the building up of the book stock, for reading grows only through reading.
The librarian wishes to acknowledge here all that she owes to Trustees and loyal assistants.
Respectfully submitted,
LIDA A. CLARK, Librarian.

Crimes in Rockland for the year 1937 were of minor nature, and most of the complaints were disposed of; un- solved complaints are still under investigation.
During the past year 1937 this department regrets to report that there were three (3) fatal accidents, two of
160
SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
these accidents were accidental; one was caused by a hit and run operator. A thorough investigation was made by the Inspector of Motor Vehicles of this District and this department; to date no arrest has been made al- though the investigation is still in progress.
Upon request of parents who have children attending the Jefferson school for protection of children crossing Union Street at Crescent Street, the Board of Selectmen at the suggestion of this department assigned Percy Al- bee for duty at this point during hours when children go to and from school, this has been an added measure of safety this year. The remaining school hours with the exception of the Mckinley school, (which is under police protection) are ably taken care of by the principals and teachers of their respective schools and for this service this department commends them highly; no accidents to school children having been reported during school hours for the year 1937.
During coasting season a special police officer (Thomas Fitzgerald) was assigned to Union and Taunton Avenue, hours were established under police protection.
Again I take pleasure in giving the thanks of the en- tire department to the Town and County officials and to the many other citizens who have given valuable as- sistance when given the opportunity. As Chief of the department I am appreciative of the fine work of the regular and special officers, all of whom have labored to give the finest service; and to the Finance Committee who after consideration and investigation approved of the appropriation asked for by this department.

The two standpipes at Beech Hill were emptied and thoroughly cleaned.
The usual analysis of water from Big Sandy Pond and Little Sandy Pond has been made by the State Board of Health, also samples of water were mailed each month from March to November inclusive to Lawrence Experi- ment Station for bacterial examinations.
Two new services added during the year and one re- newal installed from main to curb, and three service leaks were repaired.
