FIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TAFT PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Library has continued to serve the public in its quiet way this year under the efficient services of our librarian.
The building has served a two-fold purpose. Owing to the congestion in our school building, the trustees deemed it wise to help out and so voted to use the lower hall tempor- arily for school purposes. This has worked out very satis- factorily to all concerned.
Due to the fact that considerable insurance comes due during the coming year, a very substantial increase in the ap- propriation will become necessary.
Respectfully submitted, ROY A. BARROWS, Chairman, EDWARD F. BLOOD, Secretary, GEORGE G. DAVENPORT, LENA W. GEORGE, MELDON SMITH,
Library Trustees.
