This library was the first public library in New England to open its doors to visitors on Sunday. It is proper, therefore, in ending this paper to say a single word in regard to our ex- perience respecting this custom. The Reading-rooms of the library are open from two to nine P. M. No books are given out in the circulating department to be taken home. The periodi- cals and papers can be freely used. Books are procurable also for use within the building from either department of the library. The experiment has now been tried for three years. It appears
33

from the yearly reports of the librarian, that the number of per- sons who used the reading-rooms Sundays, in the year 1872-3,- for one Sunday less than the whole year, and yet for fifty-two Sundays,-is 5706, for 1873-4, 7179, and for 1874-5, 10,142. The librarian is present for two hours in the afternoon to ren- der assistance to inquirers seeking information from books. One attendant in summer, and two attendants in winter, remain in the rooms during the hours they are open, to see that they are kept comfortable, to preserve quiet, and to aid readers. These attend- ants are persons who do not serve the library on secular days, but who come to us only on Sunday. In regard to the character of the reading done Sundays, it may be stated that it is gen- erally of the lighter kinds. Some persons, however, engage in study every Sunday.
I have now stated briefly what I regard the distinctive features of this library, and have mentioned such facts in its history as seem to be of general interest. Having, therefore, performed the duty set me by the Board of Directors, I now close this paper.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE LIBRARY.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
GENTLEMEN :- In the judgment of your Committee, the affairs of the Library, in both of its departments, have been administered during the past year with watchfulness and efficiency. The books are in as good condition as the constant use to which they are subjected makes it reasonable to expect.
The number of volumes lost has been very small, the number added very large. No complaint has reached us of any lack of attention to duty on the part of the Librarian and his Assistants, but on the con- trary we have every reason to believe that the wants of the public have been fully and promptly met.
According to the "Rules and Regulations of the Free Public Library," it is the function of this Committee "to attend to the pur- chase and preservation of books and other property " of the Library, " subject to such votes and appropriations " as the Board of Directors may make.
It is also their prescribed duty to make an annual examination of the Library, and to report its condition to the Board. Since the Library has attained its present dimensions, it has become almost a necessity for the Committee to discharge this latter duty by proxy, upon the legal maxim facit per alium, facit per se.
The annual examination is, in point of fact, made by the Librarian and his Assistants, and their report upon the condition of the books is received as adequate to satisfy the spirit if not the letter of the rule.
252
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 30.
With respect to the more important duty of attending to the pur- chase of books, more important because necessarily including the selec- tion and recommendation of the additions made to the Library, your Committee feel themselves less fully warranted in employing deputies. The " Regulations " already quoted provide that the Librarian "shall assist the Library Committee in the selection and purchase of books."
The actual practice, for some years past, has been for the Librarian to prepare and to submit to the Committee a list of such purchases as are in his judgment desirable, including also the titles of books which users of the Library have signified, since the previous meeting, a wish to have procured. This list, after having been supervised by the Com- mittee, and extended or curtailed at their discretion, is laid before the Board at the regular monthly meeting to receive official sanction.
It is greatly to be desired that the Directors, as a body, should share with the Library Committee the responsibility of approving these monthly lists.
Your Committee do not recommend any alteration in the mode of preparing the list. The advantages which the Librarian enjoys for the study of publishers' catalogues, quite apart from his ample literary qual- ifications, make it eminently fitting that the list of proposed additions should, in the first instance, take shape at his hands. At the same time it must be evident to any one who will give the subject thought that it is quite impossible for any one person, no matter how extended his knowledge of books or how catholic his literary sympathies, to perform the work of selection for so large a library without the aid of friendly criticism. Every man's private library reflects, to a greater or less de- gree, his own personal and individual tastes. It is unreasonable to ex- pect that this bias, this "personal equation" will be wholly lost in the case of a public Librarian, endeavoring, ever so conscientiously, to min- ister to the wants of all alike. The same reasoning applies proportionally to a small Committee like this Library Committee. It is therefore most desirable that the collective influence of the whole Board be brought to bear upon the lists that are laid before it from month to month, and that these lists be submitted to the most rigid scrutiny and the freest possible criticism. Until this duty is recognised and assumed by the Board, and this too with a cordial understanding all around that no rights are infringed and no prerogatives compromised by such action, it must inevitably result, so your Committee think, that many books will find their way to our shelves of which we are not greatly in need, and that many will be missing there which it would be our wisdom to possess.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Committee have held during the year twelve meetings. They have approved bills for books for the Green Library to the amount of $1,691.33, and for books and binding for the Circulating Department to the amount of $6,297.46.
In behalf of the Committee on the Library.
WILLIAM R. HUNTINGTON,
Chairman.
REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE READING ROOM.
To the President of the Board of Directors of the Free Public Library.
THE Committee on the Reading Room beg leave to present their annual report for the year ending Dec. 1, 1875.
This Committee has in charge not only the newspaper room on the ground floor of the building, but the periodicals at present placed in Green Hall. The latter department is essential to every well appointed popular library ; and the Committee consider also the furnishing of the current news of the day an important adjunct to the institution. The increasing use of the newspaper reading room shows its appreciation by the people, and it is known to be visited by many who have not the habit of giving much time to books. By its means, the library is able to reach and interest a wider clientage, and fill up hours which its present visitors might otherwise waste utterly. Both the newspapers and the periodicals are purchased mainly with the income of a fund generously contributed years ago by public spirited citizens. One or two hundred dollars in addition have been asked in certain years from the Library appropriation, and the Committee consider this amount might be with propriety increased in view of the close relations be- tween the periodical and the circulating departments. At present, however, the sum at the disposal of the Committee is all that it is desirable to ask.
Eventually, the accommodations of the lower reading room, already scarcely adequate to the wants of those who frequent it, must be ex- tended, and there must be a considerable increase in the number of
255
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
daily journals, now comparatively few, considering the great field to be covered and the close relations of this city to distant centres of popu- lation.
The Committee have few changes to report during the year. The list of periodicals regularly received is believed to be complete and creditable to the Library, and the number of newspapers for which we subscribe has been kept up to the limit imposed by the amount of in- come at our disposal.
During the year we have added several new periodicals, of a solid character, to the tables in the hall of the Green Library. These are, The Mining and Scientific Press, published at San Francisco ; The New England Journal of Education ; Public Opinion, an epitome of the leading articles of the press of both continents ; The Tele- graphic Journal and Electrical Review, published in London; and the Carriage Monthly, printed at Philadelphia in the interests of carriage-makers. It has been the policy of the Committee, under the sanction of the Board, and aided by the watchfulness of the Librarian, to satisfy any reasonable want, whether of students or artisans, for periodicals bearing on particular pursuits. This does not necessarily involve an increased expense, because more or less magazines and newspapers die or decay every year. Since our last report, the publi- cation of The Plymouth Pulpit, and Beeton's Boy's Own, a London juvenile, has ceased, and we have stopped the Washington Weekly Chronicle, which had became an illustrated paper of no great value in this latitude.
The College Courant has been merged, together with several other kindred publications, in the New England Journal of Education, to which, as above stated, we have subscribed.
We now take the Daily Chicago Tribune instead of the Tri- Weekly. The total number of publications which we receive still falls short of two hundred, but many are preserved and bound, and become valuable and lasting accessions to the Library.
Among the additions to our lists by gift, we may mention first, as an evidence of good will to the City, from the ancient municipality in England, bearing the same name, Berrow's Worcester Journal, which is sent free by Mr. Charles H. Birbeck, the proprietor. Le Travail- leur, a French weekly, published at Worcester, Mass., and Woon- socket, R. I., has been sent from time to time, but now appears to be discontinued. Other new gifts are the Saint Louis Trade Journal, The Vineland Advertiser, The American Journal of Education, published at Saint Louis, The Laboratory, published at Boston, by
256
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 30.
Messrs. W. W. Bartlett & Co., Sherman and Hyde's Musical Review, from San Francisco, and the The Tufts' Collegian, published for Tufts' College. The Committee have also to acknowledge the kindness of the Rev. T. E. St. John, in contributing the Universalist Quarterly for several years, a gift previously credited by mistake to another source ; and in aiding in the completion of a set of the same publication.
We no longer receive from Rev. H. T. Cheever, the Boston Daily News, nor from L. S. Howlett, the Daily Louisville Commercial. The Banner of Light no longer comes from the publishers.
A half-dozen other periodicals, originally sent by the proprietors, in some instances, probably, in the hope that we should ultimately become subscribers, have also been cut off. We have to acknowledge con- tinued favors from the local papers, from the member in Congress for this district, Mr. Hoar, and from friends in various parts of the country.
For the Committee,
CHARLES H. DOE, Chairman.
WORCESTER, Dec. 27, 1875.
REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE BUILDING.
To the President and Directors of the Free Public Library :
THE Committee have to report the building and fixtures in fair con- dition, the strictest economy in repairs having been observed during the past year.
Experience confirms the opinion expressed in the last annual report of the Librarian, that more room for all departments is needed within easy reach of the attendants. In order to meet this want economically, and to avoid the fatiguing and expensive labor of climbing stairs with heavy books, we repeat the recommendation of our last annual report : to put in a Water Pressure Elevator, which will give easy and rapid access to all parts of the building, from basement to story next the French roof.
By a recent inspection and estimate made by the Superintendent of Public Buildings, Mr. Peck, we have the statement that the French story could be finished, and made ready for shelving, at an expense of twelve hundred dollars ($1,200). In this story alone, by the use of an elevator, an amount of room can be made available equal to two and one half times the space now in use for books in the circulating department. At present this room is useless, being inaccessible except by ladder and trap door. The possibility of utilizing, in the future, this vast space, even if it should not be wanted for several years, gives us a strong additional reason for putting in the elevator.
The principal items of expenditure for the year, have been for cata- logue case, shelving and ordinary repairs, amounting in round numbers, to five hundred and seventy dollars ($570).
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. H. MORGAN,
For Committee on Building.
