REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The library has had a prosperous year. Patrons have become accustomed to the card and slip method, and the wisdom of the change is easily apparent. As more shelf-room will soon be absolutely necessary, we offer the following suggestion. The rear room in the store lately occupied by Miss Rhodes could be easily connected with the library by cutting an alcove through the parti- tion of our present quarters. With that room fitted with shelves, we should need no further extension for many years. Should the town grant the room for that purpose, we are authorized to state that our esteemed fellow-townsman, Colonel Edwin V. Mitchell, will contribute liberally toward the expense of fitting up the same. For the coming year we ask the same appropriation.
Upon the following pages will be found the Catalogue of books added during the year. Patrons should attach the same to their Catalogue, and thus keep the list complete.
Respectfully submitted,
J. HERBERT BAKER, Secretary.
