REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF BROOKS LIBRARY
To the citizens of the Town of Harwich :
Our Library is constantly growing and serving more people each year.
This year our circulation has been 12,500, an increase of nearly 4000 over last year. The circulation through our transportation system to North Harwich, East Harwich and South Harwich has been 2252.
About twenty-five of the best and most popular magazines are on our reading table, and are read and enjoy- ed by many.
Through the George W. Nickerson Fund we have bought two large volumes this year, namely :- Cambridge History of English Literature, 15 vols., and History of North America, 12 vols. Besides these we have also bought about ninety non-fiction books. This Fund enables us to have the best non-fiction books published, and these are the books that build a worth while library.
We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a check of ten dollars given our Librarian by Mrs. Bernard W. Andrews. With this money we have bought one of the Rogers group of statuary which we did not have. This makes our Rogers collection nearly complete and one of the best to be found.
Respectfully submitted,
Mildred B. Paine, Madeleine J. Crowell, Hillary M. LeClaire,
Trustees.
