It is with great regret that we had to write into our files a fatal accident for the year 1963. This ended a period of almost five years without loss of life on our highways. Our pedestrian accident record remains the same without loss of life for a period of nine years. I sincerely hope that everyone will strive to continue this enviable record. This report shows that accidents have increased throughout the year of 1963 and I feel that the greatest reason for this is that operators seem to fail to adjust themselves to the different weather and traffic conditions which suddenly come upon us.


A total of 20,771 miles was travelled by the Police Cruiser dur- ing the year in the performance of our duty. The Cruiser-Ambulance

continues to be of great service to the Town and also to the Police Department.


Police Memorial Sunday was observed and flowers were placed on the graves of departed members of our department. Prayers were offered by a member of the Clergy, for which we are very grateful.


In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Selectmen, department heads and all others for their cooperation throughout the year. For a good and desirable Community cooper- ation is necessary on the part of everyone. Thanking you at this time for the privilege and honor of being able to serve you in this capacity.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM D. RONDEAU, SR. Chief of Police.

LIBARARIAN'S REPORT


To the Trustees of Taft Public Library:


The circulation of books and magazines for the year 1963 (145 days) was 7384. Circulation by classes was as follows: fiction, 2537; magazines, 1092; juvenile, 2533; biography, 284; history and travel, 315; literature and fine arts, 193; science and useful arts, 280; all others, 150. Seventy-four new borrowers registered.


During 1963, 60 new books were purchased by the Town, 73 by the Fletcher Fund and 53 were received by gift, making a total of 186 books. Our thanks and appreciation go to the following donors of books: to Mr. George L. Small for 28 books, mostly non-fiction; to Miss Florence Aldrich, Charles and Hazel Leonard, Mrs. Arthur Small, Mrs. Charles Young, Roxie Barrows, Vicki Benotti, Elvira and Teresa Creasia, Jay Washburn and Robert Legge.


Magazines available to readers are: American Home, Atlantic Monthly, Better Homes and Gardens, Boys' Life, Flower Grower, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, Life, McCall's, National Geographic, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Readers' Digest, Red Book, Saturday Evening Post, Time and U. S. News.


In April, National Library Week was observed with a collection of new books. Open House was held at the Library on Wednesday evening, April 24th with a PTA committee acting as hostesses: Mrs. Robert Jackson, Mrs. Walter Channing and Mrs. Gordon Good. Prize-winning posters from Mendon Center School were on display.


The librarian and Mrs. Rhodes attended an Area Meeting of Librarians in Uxbridge on May 9th with Luncheon at Lasell House in Whitinsville. This group under the leadership of Miss Alice Cahill from the Division of Library Extension has been discontinued now. Taking its place is the Central Regional Library System covering Worcester County with Regional Centers in Worcester and Fitch- burg. Workshops from these Centers will replace the Area meetings. An advantage in belonging to the Central Library System is the ability to borrow books from these Centers. We have borrowed 100


75


books from Fitchburg Regional Library and had the use of them for three months; then they will call for them and bring us another selection of 100 books.


State aid enables us to buy more books, to be open Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Lorna Rhodes in charge. Our high school assistant is Daniel W. Cox. Story Hour and Vacation Reading Club were conducted in July.


With thanks and appreciation to the Trustees and Town Offi- cers for their kind cooperation.


Respectfully submitted, VESTELLA M. DANIELS, Librarian.


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF TAFT PUBLIC LIBRARY


The Trustees of the Taft Public Library submit the report of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1963.


The schedule of hours during which the Library is open to the public is as follows:


Monday


1:30 to 5:00 P.M.


6:30 to 8:00 P.M.


Wednesday


2:00 to 5:00 P.M.


Thursday


1:30 to 5:00 P.M.


6:30 to 8:00 P.M.


This schedule has been followed for the past several years since the Library has been receiving state aid. This offering of thirteen hours per week will undoubtedly have to be increased to fifteen hours next year in order to meet minimum state requirements and continue eligibility for state aid to the Library. The Trustees have given some thought to this matter.


A major improvement to the building during the year has been a new coat of paint applied to the exterior. Some minor repairs to the foundation wall of the building are under consideration.


76


One change in the membership of the Board of Trustees has occurred. Mrs. Robert Jackson was appointed by the Board of Selectmen to fill out the unexpired term of Mrs. Vestella Daniels who resigned.


Your attention is called to the Report of the Librarian and to the financial statement. The Trustees wish to express their apprecia- tion to Mrs. Daniels, Librarian, and to Mrs. Rhodes, Assistant Librarian, for their interest and efforts to make the work of the Library effective and available to the community.


Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR WIERSMA H. WILLIAM THATCHER LUCINDA JACKSON KENNETH SHARP HENRY P. CLOUGH Trustees.
