Librarian's Report
This report covers a period of eleven months in- stead of the usual twelve months. The circulation of books during these eleven months, when compared with the corresponding months of the year before, shows an increase of 1%. During the summer months there was a decided decrease in the number of children's books circulated, for which the fascination of the play-ground were probably accountable. Most sections of non-fic- tion books show an increase in circulation, varying from 15 to 30%. 536 volumes have been added to the library during the year; 98 new copies of wornout books have been purchased. 258 volumes have been rebound during the year.
All the books and shelves in the library were cleaned in the summer by means of our newly purchased vacuum cleaner. The Museum has been thorouhgly cleaned, all the birds and animals have been cleaned and fumigated and put in good condition. The collect-
176
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE
ion is a creditable one and would repay a visit on the part of our townspeople.
The library has received valuable gifts during the past year. Mr. C. L. Newhall presented 119 volumes, which include many genealogies and town history, "The photographic history of the Civil war" and a set of Lord's "Beacon lights of history." Unfortunately there is no room in the present library to shelve these books, they have therefore been packed in a box and stored in the museum, where the patrons of the library cannot consults them, as they would no doubt like to do.
The Catholic Encyclopedia in 15 volumes(of which 12 volumes have been published) was presented to the li- brary by the following organizations connected with St. Mary's church of Southbridge: St. Mary's total absti- nence society, Veronica league, Ancient order of Hiber- nians, Ladies auxiliary, A. O. H. and Knights of Columbus. The N. Y. Sun says of this encyclopedia : "The encyclopedia has high standards of accuracy and literary excellence. It is distinctly Catholic, but, with that in mind, the fairness and impartiality with which it has treated polemical questions are remarkable and deserving of all praise."
Mrs. George T. Angell has presented a framed picture of Mr. Angell to the library. Mr. Ernest O. Bourdelais has loaned a number of birds and animals to the museum. Mrs. George Hartwell left to the museum a case of native birds. Other gifts are acknowledged in the "list of gifts" following this report. Perhaps no gift to the library has given more pleasure to its
177
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE
patrons than the many flowers which have been given by Mrs. George W. Wells and Mrs. Cady.
A new catalogue of the french books in the library has been printed. A supplement to the fiction cata- logue (fiction purchased 1904-1911) will soon be ready for distribution.
The two supplementary volumes of the Century dictionary and encyclopedia have been added to the reference collection, also Lippincott's new medical dic- tionary and Cram's new census atlas.
During 1912, the library will have an extra copy of Outing for circulation, instead of the Outlook.
The following pictures have been exhibited through our membership in the Library art club: Corot; Group of dates; Mythological pictures; Medici women; Des- pots of Italy; Venice; Sargent pictures; Cotton and silk; Japan ; Food for southern climes; New Zealand.
