LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
Accessions-Number of volumes in Library January 1, 1946, 21,804. Increase by purchase 245. Increase by gift 167. Total increase 412. Withdrawn from circulation, 1080. Total number of volumes in Library, January 1, 1947, 21,136.
Circulation-Number of days Library was opened, 101. Number of volumes circulated, 12,604.
Largest daily circulation, 402, January 12.
Smallest daily circulation, 26, February 27.
Daily average circulation, 104 plus.
Received from fines, sale of magazines and books and miscellaneous, $170.50.
One slight change has been made in the rules. New books remain in each Branch Library three months, instead of six months.
Last Spring, the children who were about to receive their Honor Certificates, invited their parents, teachers and the Library Trustees to attend the Celebration. It was held in the Acton Woman's Club House, and Mr. Billings, Chairman of the Board, presented certificates to about thirty-five chil- dren, several receiving two. An Honor Certificate means that a child has read and reported on twenty books, prescribed by the State. Miss Boisclair and Miss Sullivan from the Library Division of the Department of Education, came and told stories to us all. Freddie Tuttle played piano selections most creditably. ,
Last March, a Regional meeting of Librarians and Trus- tees was held in Fitchburg. Illness prevented me from at- tending. However, in October, the group met in Groton. There were about sixty present, representing thirty communities. It was decided to make the Regional meeting a definite organ- ization with two sessions a year, Spring and Fall. The pur- pose is to discuss Library problems and aspirations with those of our neighbors whose interests are similar to ours. I found the day helpful in various ways.
The increase during the year in circulation is gratifying. Suggestions about books are always welcome, although we
121
cannot promise to fulfill all requests, especially as the book market stands at present. Elsewhere, the circulation is given as a unit. It may be of interest to note that we put out 8113 Fiction, 2923 Juvenile and 1568 Non-Fiction.

132 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The Board of Health of Acton herewith submits its report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1946, together with the annual report of the Agent and Inspector of Slaughtering.
There were fifty-eight cases of contagious diseases re- ported to the Board of Health during the year. These are divided as follows :
Chicken Pox 7
Tuberculosis
2
German Measles 6
Measles
4
Mumps 21
Whooping Cough
2
Gonorrhea 2
Cat Bite 1
Dog Bite 13
The diphtheria clinic was held at the schools, as in recent years, and many took advantage of this opportunity.
It becomes necessary on and after January 1, 1947, to establish the fee of $1.00 per visit for Public Health Nursing Services, to be paid to the nurse at the time of receiving such services.
Due to the added expense of an indefinite tuberuclosis case at the Middlesex Sanitorium and a necessary increase in the salary of the Nurse, we recommend an increase of $1000 or a total appropriation of $5000.00 for the use of this Board for 1947.
