From my own experience, whenever I feel that I am not doing my very best, or an accommodation or a favor is asked of me, which I feel should not be granted, I try to recall the words of the following poem :
I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know; I want to be able, as the days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am; I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respect,
But in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to be able to like myself,
I don't want to think as I come and go That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me, I see what others may never see,
I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. God helping me.

Che Millicent Library Fairhaven, Massachusetts
ANNUAL REPORT January 1, 1959 through December 31, 1959
This Annual Report is Respectfully Dedicated to the memory of
MORRIS R. BROWNELL
Trustee of The Millicent Library 1909 - 1959
Librarian's Report TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE MILLICENT LIBRARY
BOOK SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The circulation of books, magazines, and records at the Millicent Library during 1959 amounted to 95,595. This was a gain of 3,776 over the number circulated in 1958. It is interesting to note that the bookmobile circulation of 18,898 (which is 20 percent of the total for the library) shows a gain of 1,494 over last year, while the main library shows an increase of 2,541. In spite of its limited schedule of three days per week, the bookmobile is attracting more borrowers each year.
At the end of a six-year registration period, 40 percent of the population of Fairhaven has been registered at the library - 3,355 adults and 2,001 juveniles, making a total of 5,356. This year library cards were issued to 590 adults and 390 children, making a total of 980 for the year. In addition, 139 temporary cards were issued to summer resi- dents, most of whom make use of the bookmobile on West Island and Sconticut Neck.
In 1959 we added 1,775 books to our collection and with- drew 1,010, making the total number of volumes in the library 51,197 to date. 1,970 books were cataloged, 45 new titles were added to the school collection, and 154 new titles were added to the Young People's section.
It was decided during the year to eliminate the Duplicate Pay Collection, which was not being used enough to justify its existence, in favor of buying additional copies of new titles for the bookmobile.

LIBRARY ACTIVITIES
National Library Week
April 12-18 was National Library Week. As area chair- man for that week in Southeastern Massachusetts, the Li- brarian was anxious that Fairhaven celebrate the event in a suitable manner. On Monday the Fairhaven schools were visited and book marks and posters distributed. The Junior Chamber of Commerce delivered appropriate posters to stores and restaurants throughout the area.
The next day the New Bedford Free Public Library and The Millicent Library sponsored jointly a talk by Hermann Field, author of "Angry Harvest," at a luncheon in the Crystal Room of the New Bedford Hotel.
On Friday the Librarian spoke at the Fairhaven Junior High School on National Library Week and reviewed new books for teen-agers. She also gave a broadcast over Station WBSM to publicize events to take place on Saturday.
Dedication of the Joshua Slocum Memorial
Thanks to Everett S. Allen, originator of the program, and to the Fairhaven Board of Selectmen, it was arranged to hold the dedication of the Joshua Slocum plaque during National Library Week in order to emphasize the worth of Captain Slocum as a literary figure as well as a mariner.
Saturday morning, April eighteenth, at 9:30 The Milli- cent Library held a Coffee Hour in honor of Walter Magnes Teller, author of two books about Joshua Slocum. This reception was attended by about 100 invited guests, includ- ing many celebrities from out of town who had been invited to the ceremony dedicating the memorial plaque. Mrs. Everett S. Allen was a hostess at the affair, and Mrs. Charles J. Lewin and Mrs. James B. Buckley served as pourers.
Twelve copies of Captain Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around the World" which had been given to the library by the Dover Press were presented to certain of the guests present and to individuals whose efforts helped make this event a success. A very beautiful commemorative book plate designed by Milton Delano was affixed to each gift copy.
134
In keeping with the nautical theme of the Slocum Memo- rial Dedication, the library was fortunate to be able to dis- play a very valuable scrimshaw collection made and loaned by Milton Delano. He also loaned us pictures of whale- ships and some whale oil lamps. A model of Captain Slocum's sloop, "The Spray," executed by his son was sup- plied for the occasion by the New Bedford Whaling Museum. The Museum also loaned us another ship model for display, as did John B. Tillson and Ralph Lumbard. Another im- pressive addition to the whaling display was the compass from a whaleship which George Freitas loaned us. First editions of "Sailing Alone Around the World" were on display through the courtesy of Mrs. Gordon E. Howland and Joseph Smart.
The librarian was among those invited to take part that afternoon in a very impressive ceremony dedicating the plaque in memory of Joshua Slocum. This took place in North Fairhaven on the spot where Captain Slocum rebuilt "The Spray" in which he sailed alone around the world in 1895.
A scrapbook of the week's events was made and has been placed in the library's archives.
Summer Program
Our Wednesday morning summer story hours started on June 24th and consisted of five weeks of films featuring stories and educational themes as well. Those who helped us during the following four weeks were Everett S. Allen, who told stories which he himself had written for children; Joseph Burke, Jr., who performed magic tricks; Grace Kenney, a missionary to the Quiche Indians of Guatemala, who displayed pictures and costumes of the Indians and taught the children some Indian songs; and Don Coyote, a professional storyteller who operates a children's theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
All sessions were well attended. 2,081 children came to the library for these programs, which represents an average of 231 each Wednesday.
135
Book Week
National Children's Book Week came November 2-7 this year. As usual, all the latest books were on display at the library throughout the week. Mrs. Lillian Schmidt, accom- panied by the librarian, visited all the schools, including the two elementary parochial schools, to help publicize the event.
Our annual Open House was held on Friday of National Book Week for adults - parents and teachers in particular. Refreshments in keeping with our Scotch theme were en- joyed by more than 100 people.
On Saturday morning two sound films - "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" - were shown to an audience of 404 children.
It seems clear that members of the community are eager to participate in programs sponsored by the library and appear to enjoy them very much.
Other
The library has never been available as a meeting place for clubs, as it was felt that there were many auditoriums in the vicinity which offer more spacious accommodations. However, Delta Kappa Gamma, and honorary society, for women educators of which the Librarian is a member, met at the library twice during the year. The Psi Chapter held its first meeting of the autumn in the Art and Music Room and the Eta Chapter had its Christmas program in the main Reading Room. The theme of this meeting was Christ- mas in art, and the setting arranged seemed most pleasing to all.
GIFTS AND EXHIBITS
The library received many interesting and valuable gifts in 1959. The Fairhaven Veterans' Association presented us with two books of records covering the period from 1894 to 1932. Station WBSM donated many albums of 78 r.p.m. records and Mrs. Otto F. A. Arnold gave us a beautiful Japanese doll.
Henry Rogers Benjamin, who has an interest in the French publishing house Les Productions de Paris, sent us a copy of each book listed in the publisher's catalog. These
136
fifty-five books cover a wide variety of subjects and include many expensive and beautifully illustrated volumes.
William Rogers Coe, who, like Mr. Benjamin, is a grand- son of Henry H. Rogers, contributed to our archives a com- plete collection of the Annual Reports of the Virginian Railway Company for the years 1910-1958. These reports will be a great asset to those interested in aspects of the business life of Mr. Rogers.
Mrs. Thomas Card and Mrs. John Seaman gave us some periodicals during 1959, and books were donated by Mrs. Otto F. A. Arnold, Henry Rogers Benjamin, Esther Blais- dell, Judith M. Callahan, Eleanor R. Cheney, John B. De Graw, Earl J. Dias, Mrs. J. Richard Early, Fairhaven High School, Reginald B. Hegarty, Christine B. Higgins, Ernest Jarvis, James B. Kershaw, Arthur P. Lewis, Mrs. Delbert S. McNeil, Alfred L. Poisson, Mrs. Lillian Ragland, Gertrude A. Sturtevant, Mrs. John B. Tillson, and Mrs. Doris L. Westgate. A considerable number of useful volumes were also given to the library by the estates of Morris R. Brown- ell and Allie W. Omey.
Our exhibit case held many interesting personal collec- tions during the year, loaned to us by patrons. Among these were perfume bottles loaned by Bethany Hawes, miniature shoes by Mrs. Gertrude Wlodyka, shells by Mrs. Olive L. Brown, fans by Mrs. Minnie Hughes, dolls by Beverly A. Tunstall, and Hummel figures by members of the staff.
TRUSTEES AND STAFF
In January the library suffered an irreparable loss in the death of Morris R. Brownell, our Trustee for fifty years. It is regrettable to see the number of the older distinguished members of our society diminish, especially those who have contributed to our culture in such high degree.
Everett S. Allen, assistant to the Editor of the Standard- Times and a Trustee of the library, was honored in April as one of the outstanding journalists in the nation by his receipt of the National Headliners Club Award for his thir- teen-part series, "Sea Battle 1958 - Key to Survival."
137
Henry Rogers Benjamin visited Fairhaven in June and attended the library Trustees' Meeting at that time. During his visit Mr. Benjamin announced that the bulk of the Rogers papers now in his possession would be turned over to the library, along with portraits of the Rogers family. It will seem most appropriate to have all material associated with Henry H. Rogers located in one spot and in a building donated by the Rogers family itself.
The library staff attended in 1959 meetings of the Mas- sachusetts library Association, The Old Dartmouth Library Club, the New England Library Association, and the Cape Cod Library Club. The librarian gave numerous book talks during the year before local clubs and at schools.
Marilyn Gardner, until recently our bookmobile assistant and page, left us in September to enter the University of Vermont. She has been replaced by Mary Jean Schmidt.
APPRECIATION
Before thanking the many people who have helped the library to operate as smoothly as it has this year, it might be fitting to acknowledge some of the kind remarks made in letters expressing appreciation for services rendered and kindnesses extended by staff members during the year. It is very pleasant for us to receive expressions of such friendly sentiments. A note of gratitude for the excellent service provided by Mrs. Freitas, our Bookmobile Librarian, seems worth quoting in full :
"I want to thank you very much for helping to make my summer on West Island a more pleasant one.
"I especially appreciate your efforts in securing the special books that I asked for. My evenings on West Island would indeed be lonely ones were it not for the Fairhaven bookmobile.
"Thank you again ever so much, and I shall be looking forward to seeing you again next summer."
The library is most grateful to the following: to WBSM, WNBH, and the Standard-Times for all their courtesies ex- tended during the year and their readiness to promote fully any program that the library has sponsored; to Dorothy Reynolds, of the Dairy Council in New Bedford, who loaned
138
us her 16-mm. movie equipment whenever we requested it; to Eldred E. Besse, our Trustee of artistic talent, who re- stored without cost to the library, a portrait which was damaged by water; to Mrs. John B. Tillson and Mrs. Lillian Ragland for the beautiful floral displays given us for Book Week; to all who helped the library play its part in the Joshua Slocum Dedication ceremonies; and to Everett S. Allen and Fairhaven Selectmen Borowicz, Silveira, and Lanagan for helping make National Library Week the huge success it was in Fairhaven.
Finally, the librarian is well aware that without the backing of the Trustees and the cooperation of the staff, the accomplishments listed could never have been achieved.
Not the least important event of our library year was a survey of The Millicent Library made in May at our request by a representative of the Massachusetts Department of Education, Division of Library Extension. The most strik- ing deficiencies noted were in the amounts spent for salaries and books. Second, the lack of adequate seating, shelving, and working facilities was somewhat startling to the ob- server. For instance, the library, according to the surveyor's standards, should be able to seat 43 adults and 23 children, whereas at present there is only room for a total of 30.
Several valuable suggestions for immediate adoption were made, along with a long-range program for expansion and improvement of services. Since this report covers all phases of the library's activities, it should be distinctly to the library's advantage to have state recommendations to justify its future attempts at advancement.
As the survey concludes :
"The complexity of today's world imposes a responsi- bility on the citizen of a democratic country to educate him- self continuously and on the government to provide the means for the citizen's self-education. The public library is the agency evolved to meet this end. Thus, it deserves adequate support with public funds from the community it serves."
Respectfully submitted, RITA E. STEELE, Librarian
