TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT Report of the year ending December 31, 1963
To the Trustees of the West Bridgewater Public Library:
This has been our first full year in our new library building. With no severe storms and loss of time because of weather, there was a noticeable gain in our circulation. We have many new sub- scribers from the schools, 154 children. Also 54 new adult readers are borrowing books.
"The Popular Science" and "Book of Knowledge" Encyclo- pedia's were added in January and the "Geographic World Atlas" was added in September. In October "Our Wonderful World," a Junior Encyclopedia and a 10 Volume set of "Collier's Junior Classics" were added giving us some of the latest reference ma- terial needed by our young people.
This year we have Miss Charlene Gurney, High School Senior, assisting with the part time work. With better lighting and more room between the stacks our patrons take time to browse. This also makes more work in keeping the books in order. We are also doing more of our own repair work and Miss Gurney assists with that also.

Mr. Roy S. Fletcher continues as custodian and during the year has renovated several pieces of furniture, put up steel book- cases that we brought from the old building and put the storage room in order, besides his regular work.
This year we have borrowed many more books under Inter- Library Loan because of more college students needing little used books for their reference work in a variety of subjects.
There were two meetings of the Old Colony Library Club, attended by both Mrs. Hazel C. Fletcher, Librarian and Mrs. Vivian M. Bassett, Assistant Librarian. The Spring Meeting was at Hingham and an especially interesting meeting for us as the speaker for the day was the Librarian of Rare Books of the Boston Public Library, John Alden, a former West Bridgewater young man.
In November we were entertained at Brockton Public Library and heard a fine discussion on relations between the school, the student and the librarian.
The two annual "Book Weeks" were observed in April and November at the library with many new books on display besides the posters and book marks that were distributed. Several teachers brought classes and the Cochesett Kindergarten made us a book and presented it.
The K. A. Club generously supplied us with six colorful wastebaskets that have been very useful.
Among the necessities added during the year were the Vene- tian blinds for the west windows which have helped to regulate the strong light. The parking area was black topped during the summer which was greatly appreciated by all of our patrons.
The new librarian's desk was installed this fall, the Com- mittee having it custom built. It not only is an attractive piece of furniture that matches our modern tables and chairs but helps us to take care of the books more efficiently.
The new West Bridgewater Public Library sign has just been installed on the lawn and is receiving much favorable com-
44
ment. There is no excuse now for anyone not being able to find the public library.
We continue to receive many valuable gift books from pub- lishers and interested people. Our Congressman, Mr. Hastings Keith has sent us several boxes of books from Washington per- taining to a variety of subjects that he has used in his committee work and will be of interest to our patrons here.
