LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
The library has been open 306 days during the past year. 21408 volumes have been given out during this time, making an average circulation of 70 books per day. The circulation of fiction has decreased 2 per cent, that of juvenile books has increased 2 1-4 per cent. The other sections have varied but a trifle.
Three hundred and ninety-three volumes have been added, 146 volumes have been rebound. The an- nual inventory of the library was taken in Feb., seven books were missing but some of these will probably be

found later. The library has subscribed for the "Nouveau Larousse Illustre" an encyclopedia in French to be published in 7 volumes. Four volumes have been published and these will shortly be in the library. It is a general encyclopedia including articles on the sciences, the arts, history, biography, geography, etc. The articles have been prepared by well known specialists and the whole work has been carefully and thoroughly done. It is to be hoped that those who read French will avail themselves of the opportunity for using the encyclopedia.
A new volume of "Murray's English dictionary" has been added to the library. This includes "F" and "G."
Finding lists of "Science, useful and fine arts" also of "Language and literature" have been printed and can be obtained at the library free of charge. The books in these sections have been arranged according to subject on the shelves. One hundred sets of all the finding lists printed to date have been bound and copies are to be placed in each room of the schools, the Y. M. C. A., etc.
Through the Library art club of which the library remains a member, and the Woman's education asso- ciation pictures have been exhibited of Green Mt. and Lake Champlain valley scenery, of China and South- ern Louisiana; original drawings of Scribner,s maga- zine illustrations; Florence, Italy, Nuremberg, Germany; York, England; trips across the continent: Birds and animals; Spanish war.
Ten books at a time have been loaned to the Y,

M. C. A. where they are circulated for home use as well as for reading in the reading rooms. Three hun- dred and nineteen new readers have been registered since March 1, 1900.
Twenty-four book covers were purchased to place on the current periodicals for circulation.
A number of interesting old pamplets and papers were presented to the library by the Leonard estate, among them a copy of the "Reformer and moralist" printed in Southbridge March 6, 1828.
The shelf room has been so nearly filled up that by the end of another year it will be necessary to use some method of adding to it.
It does not seem to be understood by the public in general that two books may be drawn on a card at the same time but that only one of these may be a work of fiction.
ELLA E. MIERSCH, Librarian.
There has been a great deal of disturbance in the reading room and newspaper room during the past year. The newspapers and magazines have been torn and sometimes pictures and articles have been cut out of them. The library committee has decided to sus- pend from the library anyone who in any way des- troys the library property or disturbs the quiet of the reading rooms.
