Report of the Librarian for the Year 1922
To the Trustees of The Millicent Library :
The report of The Millicent Library's thirtieth year of service is herewith submitted. The evidence of circulation statistics and the knowledge of the increasing demands made upon the staff are testimony that there has been no diminu- tion in the popularity of the library and its usefulness to the people of Fairhaven. New records have been made this year in nearly every department and it is also gratifying to report a somewhat increased return from invested funds. For the first time in three years we have not had to draw upon the much depleted reserve fund.
Book Purchases.
We have added during the past year 1,293 books and withdrawn 250, making the net gain 1,043, and the total col- lection 28,111 books. This is slightly over four times the number which were on the shelves when the library was opened in 1893.
The amount spent for books was considerably larger than usual and is accounted for in part by the purchase of several rather expensive reference books, including the En- cyclopedia Americana for the adult collection and the World Book, an excellent encyclopedia for the children's room .. The actual number of new titles purchased was but little in excess of previous years but the increased demand necessi-
5
tated more duplication of copies both of fiction and non- fiction. Replacement of many standard children's books in Chivers' bindings were an added expense which we fully ex- pect, however, to prove an economy in the end.
Inventory.
With considerable difficulty and in spite of many inter- ruptions we succeeded in taking for the first time in four years an inventory of the entire adult collection. It re- vealed what we had suspected, that our losses have been greater than ever before. According to our figures, 446 books were unaccounted for, whereas in previous inventories the average has been about 60. In reporting larger losses than usual we seem to suffer in common with most libraries and considering the increased patronage and the fact that ac- cess to the shelves is practically unrestricted we do not feel that our loss is disproportionate. To tell the truth we were afraid it might be worse.
Use of Books.
The circulation from the regular collection of the main library was 61,155, that of the books in the duplicate pay col- lection, 1,062, of books at the Oxford Branch, 9,343, and at the High School library, 2,034, a total of 73,594. This rep- resents a net gain over any previous year of 4,304. Accept- ing for the population of Fairhaven a figure 1,000 in excess of the 1920 census returns, our per capita circulation is 8.8 and the percentage per borrower registered is 29.2. It may be of interest to note that for 1912 the total circulation was 51,709 and that the gain in ten years has been 21,885.
Children's Room.
As in the adult collection, fewer titles have been added to the juvenile collection this year but there has been more duplication and replacement. Purchase of replacements in Chivers' bindings has already been mentioned. The total

accessions numbered 397, while 177 were withdrawn, the to- tal number of children's books being 3,711.
The circulation of children's books was the largest, in the history of the library, 18,343 from the main library and 3,439 from Oxford Branch, the total of 21,782 being nearly 1,000 in excess of any previous record.
In the absence of a regular children's librarian Mrs. Leighton has continued in general charge of the room in ad- dition to supervision of the main desk and her work with schools. In June she took up with the children in the grades the opportunity for state certificate reading during the summer. The response was good and, though some fell by the wayside, 23 certificates were issued. Her plans to con- tinue this work after schools opened in the fall were frus- trated by her illness.
Work with Schools.
Books for noon hour reading and classroom libraries have been loaned the Tripp, Anthony and Oxford schools during the year and in addition 370 books and 267 pictures have been issued for teachers' reference use. The usual course in the use of the library was given to the eighth grade by Mrs. Leighton.
It is a pleasure to report that the library at the High School is now being administered on a more efficient basis. Since the opening of the fall term the library has been co- ordinated with the English department and is under the di- rect charge of Miss Bernice Smith, a teacher in the depart- ment who has had previous library experience. About 250 books which had been in the collection for a long time were returned to the main library and over 500 fresh books se- lected from a very extensive reading list were loaned to the High School, making a total of 750 Millicent Library books in their collection. We have also loaned the High School library a few reference books, including the New Interna- tional Encyclopedia.

Under the new arrangement there has been a marked increase in appreciation of the library's possibilities both by teachers and pupils and the tangible evidence of this is in the circulation figures, as many books being issued in the three months of the fall term as were usually issued for the whole school year. The figures for the calendar year 1922 were 2,034, 1,085 being issued from October 1st to December 22nd. The homelike atmosphere of the room with its attractive fur- niture and artistic bulletins and posters and the interest shown by the student assistants are intangible evidences ap- parent to any visitor to the High School library.
Oxford Branch.
Mr. Silva's report for the year shows that 9,343 books have been issued from the Oxford Branch during the year, just 68 less than in 1921. The average evening's circulation was 60 books. Both the adult and the children's collections were changed during the year and a larger percentage of newer books, particularly fiction, have been sent to the branch. It is difficult to see how better work could be ac- complished under the crowded conditions and Mr. Silva is to be congratulated on the service rendered,
Building.
Limitations in funds continue to prevent any extensive repairs. More effective lighting was secured for the chil- dren's room by changes in the angle of the lamps and by new shades and a new and satisfactory semi-indirect light was installed over the main loan desk. New floors, a new boiler, more up-to-date loan desk equipment and a solution of the work room problem still remain as visions for the future.
Personnel and Other Items.
Much to the library's loss and to the personal regret of her associates on the staff, Mrs. Leighton was obliged in Sep- tember to temporarily give up her work because of ill health.
8
We hopefully anticipate that the New Year will witness an early return to health and duties.
In October the staff was increased by the employment of Miss Ethel W. Doran as a general assistant. Miss Doran had charge of the library at the High School during her post- graduate course and had also had some experience as ap- prentice and part time assistant in the main library. She is taking hold of the work very well.
Mr. George Taber, who had served as janitor for two and a half years, resigned in February because of infirmities. Mr. William G. Haney, who took up the work the first of April, is giving excellent and conscientious service.
Meetings of the Massachusetts Library Club and of the Cape Cod Library Club have been attended and enjoyed by members of the staff during the year.
In conclusion I wish to acknowledge the conscientious, intelligent service of all members of the staff during a very busy year and to thank the Trustees for their appreciation of the library's usefulness and their wholehearted interest in its support.
Respectfully submitted,
GALEN W. HILL,
January 9, 1923.
Librarian.
