REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE LIBRARY. .
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
Eleven meetings have been held by the Committee on the Library during the year.
A minute account is given in the report of the Librarian of the work which has been done in the province of this Committee, and reference is made to that report for information which it is unnecessary to repeat here.
The number of books purchased with money from the city appropriation has been 600 smaller than that which represents the purchases of the previous year. It was anticipated at the beginning of the year that such would be the case as, owing to extensive improvements which had to be made in our heating apparatus, the amount of money available from the appropriation for buying books was five or six hundred dollars less than last year.
It is very desirable that we should have an appropriation which will enable us to spend $4,000 for books from the city appropri- ation the coming year.
Purchases have been made during the year in accordance with votes of the committee as follows :-
For the Green Library,
Intermediate Department,
Circulating Department,
344 volumes.

1479

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
It is gratifying to note that notwithstanding the comparatively small number of books bought, the increase in the use of the Li- brary has been large.
It is the opinion of the Committee that every effort has been made by the executive officers of the Library to gratify the wishes of readers and students, and it is its belief that its affairs have been administered to the general satisfaction of the community.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE READING-ROOM.
To the Directors of the Free Public Library :
The use of the Reading-rooms has continued to increase dur- ing the past year and is very large.
It is necessary year by year to add to the list of papers and magazines taken here (the popular satisfaction found in periodi- cal literature being so great as it is), and this fact, taken in con- nection with the circumstance that the rate of interest at which the Reading-room Fund can be kept safely invested has mate- rially decreased, makes it necessary to ask yearly for a some- what larger sum from the City Government to supply reading matter enough for the users of the Reading-rooms. $500 will be needed for the present year, in addition to the income from the Reading-room Fund.
The committee would be very much gratified should some citizen or citizens find it convenient and agreeable to add to the amount of that fund a sum sufficient to make its income at cur- rent rates of interest, adequate to creditably maintain this department of the library without recourse to money raised by taxation.
Appended to this report is a list of newspapers and other periodicals which were taken here during the past year and on it are marked such of those as have been added to our list or drop- ped from it since it was last reported on.
The number of newspapers, literary, historical, scientific and illustrated papers, magazines, reviews, etc., subscribed for or
319
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
given to the library and which have been laid on our tables or placed on racks for the use of readers during the year just closed is 214. Besides this number 52 periodicals have been given to us. For these gifts the committee desires to express especial thanks because of their number and value, and for the reason that they show a marked interest in the library on the part of proprietors of periodicals and other friends.
All the papers and other periodicals in the Reading-rooms are publicly displayed, and no application on the part of readers is necessary in order to get access to them ; everybody is free to circulate among them at will. The losses consequent upon this practice are trifling and not to be considered for a moment in comparison with the advantages which readers derive from being able to rummage unrestricted among serial publications.
