AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, Auditors of the Town of Southbridge, hereby certify that we have examined the books, accounts and vouchers of the Treasurer, and of each of the several boards of the Town officers authorized to draw orders upon the Town treasury, as required by the By-Laws of the Town, and find that the several items contained in each of the accounts pre- sented in each of the foregoing reports of receipts and expendi- tures are correct and properly vouched for.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
Remarks.
The increased use of our Library by teachers, scholars and the members of the Literary clubs in Southbridge, shows the growing appreciation of the means furnished for a higher educa- tion, and constantly emphasizes the increasing demands for more commodious quarters in which to carry on the work. We need additional room for the storing of our books, and especially do we want facilities for the use of the reference books and for the carrying on of literary work. The improved method of Library work and improved facilities for ready reference introduced by our Librarian are such as to draw people more and more to our Library, and shows a growing appreciation of the opportunities and advantages furnished.
In selecting the books for use in the Library, the Committee endeavor to meet the demand for what is known as popular literature, and at the same time furnish the latest books on liter- ary and scientific matters, and to secure all such books as are needed by the student in connection with his studies, thus en- deavoring to make the Library supplement and aid the cause of general education.
Endeavoring to keep within the annual appropriation the Committee finds itself somewhat embarrassed in not being able to introduce many features of Library work which are attract- ing attention at the present time and are features of the larger and more liberally endowed Libraries. The Committee, how- ever, proposes to print the coming year, a Fiction List, giving
72
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
alphabetically and by author, all the fiction at present in the Library, this list to be followed, as our means may allow, by other lists, such as history, travel, etc., printed in such a man- ner that when all are completed they can be bound into one complete catalogue, showing the entire contents of the Library. In adopting this method a portion of the work will be paid for each year, and the town will not be called upon to pay the ex- pense of printing an entire catalogue in some one year.
The Committee made its annual examination of the Library Feb. 22, and find the Library carefully kept and in a satisfac- tory condition. The Librarian's report, with detailed state- ments, is attached hereto.
The Committee ask for an appropriation of $1,800, and the dog tax fund for the current expenses of the Library, and for the purpose of fitting up and using an additional room on the same floor, for the accommodation of reference books and the literary working of the Library.
For the Committee,
J. M. COCHRAN, Secretary.

Librarian's Report.
310 new readers have registered since March 1, 1896. 214 registered the year before. The number of volumes issued for home use was 21167, a gain of 1415 over the preceding year. The per cent. of books circulated from the fiction section dropped from 42.54 to 39.39. No statistics are kept of persons using the reading-room or consulting books in the library because of the time required for keeping such statistics and of the wish to allow readers free access to books for reference. 52 worn books have been replaced and 129 rebound.
73
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
With the help of the teachers considerable has been accomplished in directing children's reading. A teachers' meeting in May was devoted to the consideration of co-opera- tion between the schools and the library. Not only have books been drawn for school use in connection with lessons, but pupils have been provided by the teacher with registration slips and in some cases lists of books have been posted in the school- room. The good results of this effort have been noticeable in the character of books drawn by the school children.
An alphabetical list of all the fiction in the library has been prepared and is in the hands of the printer. This list is arranged both by authors and titles and the country and period of histori- cal novels are noted. This forms the first of the class lists of which it is hoped that another may be printed during the com- ing year.
Two tiers of shelving were built in the autumn, but it is necessary that some further arrangement be made shortly for more shelf room.
Several valuable reference books have been added, among them Bartlett's Concordance to Shakespeare, the Century cyclopedia of names, and a new edition of Lippincott's gazetteer of the world. The library is a subscriber for the Cumulative index to periodicals, which is issued monthly and is an alpha- betical index by subject to articles appearing in periodicals from Jan. 1 to the date of issue. This forms an up-to-date supple- ment to Poole's subject index to periodical literature and is of great convenience in looking up recent articles on any subject. Two practical books on optics were purchased and have been in almost constant circulation, Bohne's Handbook for opticians and Tiffany's Anomalies of refraction. Mathews' Familiar trees and their leaves has helpful illustrations. John Muir, author of Mountains of California, is the man of whom Emerson wrote, " He is more wonderful than Thoreau." Burroughs' Pepacton and Stevenson's Inland voyage are delightful books of their
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
kind. Stedman's Victorian anthology is a valuable and con- veniently arranged collection of modern English poetry. To any lover of poetry unacquainted with them William Watson's poems are recommended as worth knowing.
There have been frequent visitors to the museum during the year, though no record has been kept of the number. The room is not open on a regular day, as was once the custom, but persons wishing to see the museum can get the key at the library.
The usual tables of statistics are appended and a list of books added exclusive of periodicals bound and official publi- cations of the United States and of Massachusetts.
