The old Encyclopedia with other books have been turned over to the school library. Old magazines have been given to the Hospital and discarded books sent to remote districts in the South through a local organization.
The total circulation of books for 1920 was 10,765, show- ing an increase of 2,662 over the previous year. We are pleased to note also that there is an increasing number of patrons who are using the library for serious work, and that there has been quite a bit of co-operation between the teach- ers of the schools and the librarians.
The resignation of Miss Gladys Wright as assistant libra- rian took effect August 1, and Miss Lucy Newell was ap- pointed in her place. On November 1, Miss Ethel Wood who proved a very efficient librarian and who had the welfare of the library very much at heart resigned to take a more lucrative position, and Mrs. Clara A. Emery was appointed to fill the. vacancy.
There being a constant demand for new books, and the expense of maintaining the library being increased as will be seen by the financial report, the trustees recommend that the sum of $1,500.00 be appropriated in addition to the regular resources.
Signed, NELLIE T. KEYOU,
Secretary.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
It is generally accepted that the standard of a town is gauged by its streets and parks.
Your Park Commissioners feel that the time has arrived when the town should begin the development of its parks and have decided on a policy to bring this about.
With the fund generously left by the late Willard Har- wood, we have completed plans for the development of "Baxter Square," in accordance with the purpose expressed in his deed of gift.
We have further adopted the policy of developing the other tracts of land belonging to the town, asking for a small appropriation, annually.
In this way the town will ultimately possess adequate parks, and in a manner that will not be appreciably felt by the tax payer, but which will be a decided addition to its assets.
This year we are asking for an appropriation of Five Hundred Dollars in order to begin the development of "Pfaff Field."
Respectfully submitted,
HARRISON H. CHILDS ROBERT WADE WILLIAMS HENRY E. YOUNG, JR. Park Commissioners.
