The two most pressing needs of the library are for a new lighting system and an addition to the building to house a sep-
70
arate juvenile department. The present lighting system is far behind modern standards of scientific library lighting. The present children's section is so overcrowded that the children must hunt for stools before they can read the titles on the up- per shelves. A new addition to the building would enable us to reserve the adult reading room for adults and turn the old children's section over to the students. The increased shelf room would enable us to bring up the Biography and History books from the lower stack levels to the main floor where people could have easy access to them.
The library acknowledges with thanks the free space and publicity given to the library and to book news by the SOUTH- BRIDGE EVENING NEWS.
To the Library Board, we wish to extend our thanks for an- other year of excellent teamwork and spirit of public service.

If the amount collected by the library and turned in to the Town Treasurer ($1,215.43) is taken into consideration, the net cost to taxpayers for 1951 $(16,029.74) is 81.6% of the cost for the year.
Attention is called to the estimated contribution for 1952 of $5,466.00 from Trust Funds. On this basis the Town cost will be only 76.7% of the total budget including the special appropriation of $1,000.00 if granted, and 75.2% 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 recom- mendation was included in the warrant for 1948 and 1949, but it was turned down by the Finance Committee and the voters.
76
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 con- ditions.
*Transfer of Trust Funds to Town Account.
(A) Special appropriation of $5,000.00 to cover building repairs and renovations was request- ed by Trustees in 1941 to be appropriated by the Town over a period of five years at the rate of $1,000.00 each year. Due to existing conditions this appropriation was not granted for 1942 through 1946 but was granted for the year of 1947 through 1951.
To date only $901.63 of this special appropriation has been spent. However, the cost of nec- essary repairs to the building and improvement of the lighting facilities now contemplated will ex- ceed the remaining balance of the appropriation.
