The report of the librarian calls attention to the subject of the new catalogue of the circulating library. Much progress has been made in its preparation during the past year, and this work can be completed so that the manuscript may go to the printer

in the autumn, though the catalogues will not be ready for the public until some time in the year 1883. The work is, of course, indispensable, and should be delayed no longer than is necessary for its careful execution. The Directors recommend an appropriation of $2,500 towards the cost of printing an edition of three thousand copies. This sum will not cover the whole cost, but will probably be sufficient to meet the expenses on that account for the next year. It should be understood that a portion of the cost will be returned from sales of catalogues.
The insurance on the library and the building will expire during the next year, and the necessity of renewing, and per- haps increasing it will increase the expenses for the year by about four hundred dollars.
The Directors, in behalf of the public, whom they represent, wish to express their deep sense of the fidelity of the librarian and his assistants. Their work, often laborious and perplexing, has been done with uniform patience, skill and courtesy.
In closing our report, we confidently commend this institution, which it has been our pleasant duty to superintend, to the gener- ous care and favor of the city council, feeling sure that none of the other institutions, of which our citizens are justly proud, are more beneficent, or will more amply repay the cost and labor of watchful supervision and liberal support.
In behalf of the Directors.
J. EVARTS GREENE, President.
Worcester, Dec. 27th, 1881.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
OF THE
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
To Mr. J. Evarts Greene, President of the Board of Directors of the Free Public Library.
I herewith present the twenty-second annual report of the librarian. It is the eleventh which I have prepared.
Following will be found the tables usually contained in this report. They show the receipts and expenditures of the library, its accessions, the number of volumes used by readers and students, and the extent of the use of the reading-rooms on Sunday, and record such other facts in the history of the library for the past year as it is our custom to call attention to.
The two most noticeable facts brought out by an examination of these tables, are that a thousand more volumes have been added to the library than in the previous year, and that the use of the library during the year now reported on, by students and readers, shows a satisfactory increase in all its departments.
It is particularly gratifying to notice that the number of volumes given out for home use during the past year, instead of diminishing as had been the case during the last four years, has increased considerably, and this, too, notwithstanding the fact that the hitherto high standard of literature in this department has been raised still higher.
It may be remarked here, that the closer connection between the library and the grammar and some lower grades of schools, which has been brought about within two years, is doing much to elevate the character of the reading of boys and girls. Their attention has been drawn by teachers to large numbers of
382
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 36.
interesting and wholesome books, which would not otherwise have come into their hands, and they have read them with enjoyment and profit.
114,591 volumes were given out for home use in 1880-1, 113,190 in the year 1879-80.
Gifts of books and pamphlets have been more numerous during the year that has just closed than in the year before. A list of givers will be found appended to this report. Many of the gifts are valuable.
The increase in the use of the reference department repeats the experience of every one of the last eleven years. 43,414 volumes have been used, besides those which readers and students have helped themselves to. These books have been used almost exclusively for serious purposes. The increase for the year has been 2,548 volumes. It should be stated, however, that a por- tion of this increase is due to the fact, that account has been taken of the number of volumes of drawings and specifications of patents used, for the first time in the statistics of the past year. The number of volumes lost and not paid for during the past year was ten, all from the circulating department.
The number of persons who have used the reading-rooms on Sunday during the last year is 14,917, as against 14,213 in the previous year. The average number of books given out to readers Sundays, for use in the library building, is 49.
Much work has been done during the past two years, by Miss Earle and her assistants, in getting ready to print a new edition of the catalogue of books which circulate. The first rough draft is nearly ready. Several months will be needed in the work of revision, but it is believed that the manuscript will be ready for the printer early in the autumn of 1882.
It is to be hoped that the city government will be able to appropriate money enough to the library, to enable it to print a considerable portion of the catalogue the present year. The last edition of the catalogue and of the supplement have been exhausted for two years past, and after the library begins to print a new edition, it will take several months to pass it through the press.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE LIBRARY.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
GENTLEMEN :- The Library Committee have held, during the year past, eleven meetings. They have recommended for pur- chase 2,701 volumes ; 471 for the Green Library, and 2,230 for the Circulating and Intermediate departments. The carefully prepared tabular statement appended to the Librarian's report leaves nothing of statistical importance unrecorded. The Com- mittee can but repeat the favorable opinion expressed in former years, as to the character of the work done by the Librarian and his assistants.
That the Free Public Library of Worcester enjoys to-day an enviable distinction among institutions of its class, is due in part to the liberal outlay made for it in former years, and in part to the excellence of the administrative methods now in use. Generous support and a wise management can alone guarantee a future comparable with the past.
For the Committee,
WILLIAM R. HUNTINGTON.
REPORT
OF. THE
COMMITTEE ON THE READING ROOM.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
The Committee on the Reading Room reports that during the year but few changes have been made in the list of periodicals subscribed for. These result mainly from additions and not by reason of substitution.
It will be noticed from the appended list, that among the principal additions are the the Bankers' Magazine, and Public, two leading financial journals.
In a careful examination of the newspapers taken at our library, your Committee was impressed with the fact, that while the leading ones of the Northern, Middle and Western States are provided, only one from the Southern States is furnished. The Committee believes that, if the funds at its disposal would allow, the addition of a few of the principal newspapers of those States would serve a valuable purpose, in affording ampler knowledge of the increasing development of the South, of the habits and disposition of its people, and the tone of political discussion.
The Reading Room is now supplied with four English news- papers, none of which are published daily. One or more of the great London dailies would be a profitable and welcome addition to our list.
394
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 36.
An increased appropriation for the library by the city, would enable the Directors to place at the disposal of this Committee a sum sufficient for these purposes. We should then possess the leading magazines, newspapers and other periodicals of the United States and England.
For the Committee,
