Report of the Librarian for the Year 1929
To the Trustees of The Millicent Library :
It is my great pleasure to present herewith the report of the work of the Millicent Library for the year ending December 31st, 1929.
Much of interest has occurred during the Library's thirty-seventh year of service, and material progress can be reported, even though the circulation figures indicate a loss over 1928. The number of borrowers holding cards still in force is the largest it has ever been,-a most encouraging outlook.
We have striven this year to stimulate reading of a better sort, for after all it is the reading which has some motive back of it, that counts in the long run. It seems particularly fitting when so much of writing is trivial and inconsequential, as it is to-day, that the public library should guard well its purpose in buying and encouraging the reading of such books as will add something to the value of life. The public library may well be considered as an agent, which is capable of providing a liberal education after school days are over and of keeping one in touch with current progress as well as with the history of the past,-a "university of the people",-as some librarians choose to call it.
THE CIRCULATION WORK
The decrease in books circulated for home use can be accounted for by the fact that the circulation has returned to a more normal basis, following the strike conditions of 1928, when many of the unemployed resorted to additional
6
reading for pleasure and profit. This is the inevitable reason for the abnormal circulation of 1928, which was, as you will recall, a gain of about 1000 a month. As a result of local economic conditions, many families moved out of town dur- ing 1929, and the gain of 1928 cannot be called an entirely satisfactory one.
Compared with the normal circulation of 1927, there was a gain in 1929 of 2,738 volumes. Statistics indicate that from the main library, the Oxford and East Fairhaven branches, there was a circulation of 98,051. The juvenile collection, consisting of approximately 15% of the book supply, contributed 30% of the circulation, or 29,801 books. Of this total, the Oxford branch circulated 14,804 books, or 15%, the same percentage as last year.
It is especially gratifying to record a 2% increase in adult non-fiction reading, which means in general that more worthwhile books have been read.
The circulation per capita is 9.05, and for every reg- istered borrower, an average of 24.4 books were read dur- ing the year.
The revised Duplicate Pay Collection has become so popular that it is surpassing our fondest hopes. It pays to keep it up-to-date! Its circulation is 2,642 for 1929 against 1,180 for 1928, an increase of 1,462 books or 123%. For the satisfaction of our patrons who wish a new book while it is new, the collection is justified, and in the meantime the congestion is somewhat relieved on the regular copy of the popular book which usually has a long waiting list.
1,013 pictures, clippings and stereoscopes have been circulated, while the total of books circulated at the High School Library reached 4,540 a gain of 937 over 1928.
With these and the Duplicate Pay Books, the circulation reached 106, 246, as its grand total.
7
The registration for the year was 1,256, of whom 515 were juvenile borrowers. For the three year period, the registration is 4,006, or 37% of the population.
THE BOOK COLLECTION
1,274 books have been added to the library this year. Of these 770 are adult and 504 are juvenile. 166 adult and 297 juvenile replacements have been made, leaving a total of 811 new titles. 427 books were withdrawn during the year, 209 being adult books and 218 juvenile. The books in the collection now number 32,417.
