REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Trustees desire to congratulate their fellow-citizens upon now having a well-equipped library and reading-room. Thanks to the generosity of the voters at the annual meeting last March, the town is now provided with facilities in which every resident can take a just pride. It has been our purpose and effort to secure the best possible result at the least expense, and since the opening of the new rooms in October we have heard nothing but favor- able comment. We were singularly fortunate in the purchase of shelves. At just the time we wished to buy the Young Men's Christian Association of Boston offered theirs for sale; and Mr. Curtis purchased them for one-third the price of new ones, and no observer would suspect that they were not new. They have a capacity of three thousand volumes. For the elegant oak tables in the reading-room we are indebted to Messrs. H. A. Searle, G. F. Dailey, and Colonel E. V. Mitchell. The revolving book- stand and dictionary-holder is the gift of Mr. Bracey Curtis. Two Samoa mats of unique pattern and workmanship were presented by Mrs. S. A. Harrington. The fine photograph of Dr. John H. Richardson is the gift of artist Ephraim Chamberlain.
The excellent picture of the late Captain Isaac Fiske was secured through the interest of Mrs. J. A. Fitts. We have received books from Hon. George Fred Williams, Hon. William F. Draper, and Mr. Franklin J. Briggs. Our curio case has been rendered more in- teresting by gifts from Deacon G. Lowell Plimpton, Miss Hattie Fowle, Mrs. J. W. Paige, and Mr. Raymond Weiker. We ac- knowledge various favors from Messrs. Fred M. Smith, William W. Preston, and Bernard Boylan. November 17th an entertain- ment was given in the Town Hall for the benefit of the reading- room. The following persons appeared in the programme, to all of whom we desire to extend our sense of appreciation : Medfield Male Quartette,-namely, George R. Hill, Frank T. Briggs, Albert J. Babcock, and Perley E. Woolford ; Miss Elvie Burnett, reader ;
42
Dr. Willis H. Kimball, violinist; Mr. Albert Scheibel, pianist ; and Mrs. Mabelle Briggs, accompanist. With the proceeds of the entertainment we have placed the following magazines and periodi- cals upon the tables : monthlies, Harper's, Century, Leslie's Popu- lar, Review of Reviews, and Social Economist ; weeklies, Public Opinion, Harper's, Leslie's, London News, Scientific American, Youth's Companion. The Boston Daily Traveller is furnished by A. K. Tisdale, Esq., a member of its staff. We also have the Dedham Transcript and Medfield Messenger. More of the stand- ard magazines will be added, as means will permit. The use of the reading-room is free to all, and strangers or transient residents are specially invited to enjoy its privileges. Any book can be taken from the shelves for perusal in the rooms.
Submitted for the Board of Trustees,
J. HERBERT BAKER,
Secretary.
