Report of the Public Library Trustees.


New books have been added during the year to each department of the library, but the demand for certain classes of books is greater than the supply, and farther additions will be made soon.


New shelves have been placed in the Feeding Hills branch, and the whole arrangement is pleasanter and more convenient.


Johnson's Cyclopedia has been purchased for the Mittineague branch, and been made available to the schools in the new building.
