The Wachusett Library Group held its two regular meet- ings during the year. In the Spring, we were received very hospitably by the Library in Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Tuttle with me. For the Fall meeting, we were met with equal cordiality in Leominster. Both gatherings proved profitable.
The attic of our main Library has been thoroughly regu- lated and cleaned as well as we could do it. It was slow work as we had to be careful not to discard anything of value. The sets of books there now are all one kind together and in sequence.
We are now circulating Pocket Books in order to save expense. They ought to stand up for at least six readings. About 100 have been given to us and when we buy them, they cost $.23. Many are identical with books costing in the vicinity of $2.
123
All magazines but the current copies will be put into circulation in 1948.
The Children's party at The Acton Woman's Club House in May, seems to have become an annual occurrence. We thank all those who helped to make the children happy, espe- cially Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Allen. They showed moving pictures of their travels and generously added some funny films which amused us all. More than once, children have come to me to get started on their State Certificate Reading, with this pref- ace, "I want a book so I can go to the movies at the Club House." We are indebted to the teachers of the Town, who not only inspired children younger than Fourth Grade to begin work, but who cooperated wonderfully. Keeping track of the reports and filling in certificates means a lot of detail added to an already crowded schedule.
Those to whom Mr. Billings presented Honor Certificates, were :
Sylvia Jewell
Priscilla Steeves
Dardana Berry Richard Laffin
* Maralen Moody
Freddie Tuttle
Elaine Priest
Christine Elmes
Joanne Acorn

So much for what has been done. For what needs to be done, I am overwhelmed by the crying needs. Books have risen in price but even so, we are in a fairly comfortable
124
position to buy books, due to the Town Appropriation and the generous bequests of our friends. However, the Library is very much as it was in 1890. Since nothing stands still, we must have gone back or ahead. According to statistics, our State rating is very low. If we are to keep pace with modern Libraries and make our organization serve the public more effectively, we must do something. To try for everything at once is always folly. To try for anything in these times, means money, which buys very little. We COULD make a begin- ning. Those who are in sympathy with these ideas, will have an opportunity to drop coins in a sealed box, whenever inclined. Do not despise the lowly penny or the nickel! Reflect on the snowstorm and learn a lesson in mass production through the silent, persistent and patient cooperation of tiny trifles. For those who are interested, we need (perhaps not in this order) the following :
1. A new lighting system, the old one being very poor in galleries.
2. A new charging system.
3. Re-classifying and re-cataloging of all books.
4. A Children's room.
5. A proper assembling and unifying of our War Tro- phies, since Acton has a pre-eminent place in American History and this building is a War Memorial.

In 1944 the circulation was 7419. In 1947 it was 15,027. For the latter year, the books divided themselves as follows:
Fiction 9603 Juvenile 3489 Non-Fiction 1935
A comparison of circulation shows that in three years, we have more than doubled our output. This indicates in- creased interest on the part of the reading public. Further, it lays on the shoulders of the Library officials the pleasant task of meeting the needs of the people in a still more effective way. Comparing with last year's report, you will see that the largest gain lies with Fiction and the smallest with Non- Fiction, which two departments hold respectively high and low place in circulation. Instead of joy over Fiction rating, I am depressed at the lack in Non-Fiction. Any constructive criticism about this, will be welcome.
Gifts of books have been received from those listed below. We cannot be too grateful for their generosity, - grati- fying at any time but especially so when prices are so high for either the givers or us.

White, Jr., 2.
In addition, we thank W. A. Stevens and W. B. Stevens and E. H. Washburn for many magazines. A person who wishes to remain unknown gave us $1. Mr. Moody has been kind and thoughtful, also one whom I do not know, in getting boxes of books which were too heavy for me to lift, from the P.O. to the Library. The American Legion Post No. 284 presented us with a flag which belonged to Isaac Davis Post No. 138 and was used by the G.A.R. Post. We express our gratitude to them.

I have had one old volume of Town Reports rebound because it was falling to pieces, and at the same time I had the reports for the last five years bound. I had Shattuck's History of Concord rebound.
