If the amount collected by the library and turned in to the Town Treasurer ($1,256.99) is taken into consideration, the net cost to taxpayers for 1950 ($12,138.88) is 63.5% of the cost for the year.
Attention is called to the estimated contribution for 1951 of $5,000.00 from Trust Funds. On this basis the town cost will be only 78.1% of the total budget including the special appropriation of $1,000.00 if granted, and 77.8% if that special appropriation is not granted.
In the interest of the public the trustees urgently recommend that the facilities of the Library be expanded through the addition of a building to be used as a Children's Library. Trustees ap- peared before the Southbridge Public Improvement Committee in 1947 and $48,500.00 was set up as a

capital outlay for 1948-all or part of this amount to be raised by a Bond Issue. This recommendation was included in the warrant for 1948 and 1949, but was turned down by the Finance Committee and the voters.
Again it is stressed that this needed Children's Library will not only develop reading habits for children, but will make available for adults the present facilities under more satisfactory conditions.
