Librarian's Report
The circulation for the year has been 41,487, an increase of 2,516 volumes, or six and one half per cent over the circulation in 1912. This increase, it is grat- ifying to note, is especially in non-fiction, in which there is an increase of more than 29% over the non-fic- tion circulated in 1912. More men are coming to the library asking for books on running boilers, on repair- ing automobiles, on bookkeeping, civil service, furni- ture making, mechanics and shorthand, more women are taking out books on housekeeping, on the care of babies, on crocheting, the furnishing of houses, cook- books, etc. Boys are taking books about aeroplanes, electricity, trapping and camping; girls are reading books on sewing and making gardens and playing games. Both boys and girls are finding the books which sug- gests to them vocations by means of which they can later on earn a living. There are few subjects upon which the library cannot furnish information, and we are always glad to borrow a book from Worcester or Boston if we cannot give you all the information you wish concerning a special subject. In one day recent-

ly we were asked to find material on the "Broad church movement in England," "The training of hunting dogs." "The legends of Christmas," "The methods by which records were kept in the days before there was printing," a poem of which only a line was known, "books about Durer and Rembrant," "How to make shadow animals." Surely we agree with Henry Ward Beecher. A library is not a luxury but one of the neces- saries of life."
The library has been open on all holidays during the year, with the exception of Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. With the exception of Labor day, it was quite evident that the townspeople appreciated the opening of the library on these holidays.
631 volumes were added during the year and 253 volumes of very old and never-called-for books, were sent to the Southbridge almshouse. The library now contains 24,126 volumes. One of the most interesting and valuable additions to the library are seven copies of the new volume of leaflets on local history which has just been issued by the Quinebaug historical society. Scarcely a person in town would fail to find something of interest in this book.
One of the library's newest helps to information is Dyer's "Compendium to the War of the Rebellion." Several volumes have been added to the books on Panama. Amundsen's "The South Pole" could not fail to delight any one who is at all fond of adventure, while Laut's "Through our unknown Southwest" will surprise the man who thinks he knows almost every-

thing about our country. If every farmer in South- bridge were to read the new books on farming and fruit-growing and farm animals and poultry, he would probably get a larger return from his farm, and if every housekeeper were to read the new books on food values and housekeeping and cookery, her housekeeping ex- penses would be lessened and her family healthier. If both men and women were to read the new books of travel and. of history, their outlook on life would inevitably be broader.
211 volumes have been newly bound or rebound during the year. Our bills for rebinding would cer- tainly be larger did we not buy as many new books as possible in reenforced binding.
440 names have been added to the registration list during 1913.
Vacation privileges were again given during July and August. Two books of fiction, as well as three books of non-fiction, could be drawn from the library at one time anyone leaving town on a vacation could, by announcing that fact at the time the books were drawn, keep their books until September 1st,without renewal, with the exception of new books for which there was a constant demand.
The following exhibitions of pictures were sent us by the Library Art Club: Japanese Textile Fabrics; Transportation ; Millet; Ireland; Pictures for Children ; Unger prints; Days near Rome; Fashions in Paris; Rulers of Italy ; Yosemite; Kashmir; European Artists in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Since the schools opened in September, every

teacher who has out four or more books from the li- brary, all taken on the same date, is notified by a pos- tal card three days before her books are due. This is done in order to encourage teachers to use the library, since the teachers very naturally resent paying fines for books from which their pupils, not they themselves, profit. A large number of teachers have availed them- selves of our constantly growing picture collection.
Both local newpapers have kindly printed for us each week a short list showing some of the books which the library contains on a special subject. Many gifts of flowers have brightened the library while our gaily decorated Christmas tree and many wreaths, the gift of one of our townspeople, gave pleasure to almost as many grown people as children.
Current Opinion, Education, Journal of Education, Literary Digest, Popular Electricity, Popular Mechanics, and Technical World will be found in the reading-room during 1914 and the following magazines have been discontinued : American Homes and Gardens, Bookman, Electrician and Mechanic, Elementary School-Teacher, Hearst's Magazine.
The event of the past year of most importance to the library was the laying of the foundation for the new library building which is to be built as soon as the weather permits in the Spring.
