REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
The circulation figure for 1961 was the highest since 1949, despite the fact that our population has decreased by 1,000 per- .sons. The greatest gain was in the use of children's books.
Besides our main job of making books available, several other projects occupied us. Our century-old file of crumbling newspapers were microfilmed. Our adult book collection was inventoried. We doubled our fines at the beginning of the year to combat excessive staff time and postage expended in retrieving overdue books. Consequently overdues were cut almost in half. We continued to sponsor two Great Books groups now in their second and third years and served as a clearing house for Great Decisions, providing special reading material for each assigned study program.
When a map was made showing the location of our bor- rowers as an aid to improving our service, we learned that we have 561 non-resident borrowers in Massachusetts, plus 102 from Connecticut. Since we accepted more than $3400 in state aid this year, we eliminated the non-resident registration fee for Massachusetts residents, although this was not a re- quirement.
Another time-consuming program was our close work with the planning for regional service under the 1960 State Aid to Libraries Act. The librarian is a member of the Advisory Council as well as of the Executive Committee for the Central Region.
Library Week in April was observed with Teen Age Bal- loting for Favorite Adult Books. During Book Week in No- vember we conducted the now traditional Creative Writing Contest for grades 2 to 7. This year showed a marked increase in both quantity and quality of entries.
157
The Summer Reading Club had a junior membership of 183 and a senior membership of 87, a new high. As it was al- most impossible to accommodate that number, we may be forced to limit membership next year.
The weekly children's film program continued to flourish. although the new story hour is moving pretty slowly.
The interior of the building was enhanced with new draperies and a wall washing.
This library was named one of two nominees from Massa- chusetts for the national Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award to be announced next April. The librarian was elected president of the Bay Path Library Association and listed in Who's Who of American Women.
During the year 31 classes visited the library for either in- struction or stories while the librarian visited 6 classes at the schools. Five Scout troops met at the library with a notice- able increase in interest in the Reading Badge (especially among Boy Scouts) for which the librarian serves as con- sultant.
The librarian attended 16 meetings related to library ac- tivities of which ten were devoted to regional service. ,
Mrs. Hazelton retired as Children's Librarian in July but consented to help us part time until we can find another. Mrs. Alfred Eddy, a new part-time staff member, is taking courses in library science sponsored by the Division of Library Ex- tension. She is our story teller and has taken over the film program. We are still short one staff member that we could not attract because of salary.
Special thanks are due to Edward Zuiss, Station WESO, the Southbridge Evening News, the Police Force, and the ad- ministration of both public and parochial schools for their help and cooperation.
As always, the librarian deeply appreciates the conscien- tious Board of Trustees that serve with the best interests of a progressive library at heart and the loyal staff that give be- yond our powers to compensate.
