FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF TAFT PUBLIC LIBRARY.
It is very gratifying to realize that our library is very steadily increasing in its usefulness and becoming each year a greater factor in the educational life of the town.
It is impossible to estimate the value of our reference works as an auxiliary to the schools, but it is our purpose to strengthen that department as far as possible with the income of the Fletcher Fund. To that end we procured a set of the New International Encyclopaedia which will be kept up to date with a Year Book.
Are we taking advantage of these resources placed before us to broaden and elevate our mental powers? Let us make great- er use of our library during the coming year.
WM. A. BARRY, Chairman, EDWARD F. BLOOD, Secretary, LENA W. GEORGE, GEORGE H. PICKARD, CARROLL H. DROWN,
