REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY.


To the Town of Arlington:


The Trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual report. The circulation shows a loss of 569, with a total of 48,571 as compared with 49,140 in 1912 The Children's Room shows a gain of 2,154, with 14,413 for 1913 as against 12,259 for 1912. The attendance in the Reading Room shows a gain for both week days and Sundays - 18,927 for 1913 against 18,556 in 1912, and 2,144 on Sundays in 1913 against 1,871 in 1912. The daily attendance in the Children's Room has risen from 7,549 in 1912 to 8,529 in 1913, with corresponding gains in Sunday attendance - 1,685 for 1912 against 1,827 for 1913.


Fewer books have been taken from the Stack Room than 1912-32,630 as against 35,004, but many have been read in the Library and not taken away. The use of periodicals shows a loss - 2,531 for 1913 against 2,663 in 1912, but more new cards were given out last year than ever before, 733 in all.


The Postal Reserve system introduced January 1 has proved successful, 749 persons using it in 1913.


As the School Committee required the use of the large room, which they had courteously placed at our service as a Branch Library and Reading Room for Arlington Heights, we were obliged to move into smaller quarters in the same building and occupy a room at the left of the middle entrance of the Locke School on Paul Revere Road. This was not large enough for a reading room but serves very well for the present for the delivery of books. And in spite of diminished quarters and the return of not a few of the volumes to the Centra Library, a larger number of books and periodicals were delivered at the Branch than ever before, 3,303 for 1913 against 3,007 in 1912, and fewer books were sent to the Branch for delivery than formerly, 1,528 for 1913 against 1,877 in 1912, which shows the growing popularity of the Branch.


After many years of able and faithful service, Mr. E. Nelson Blake resigned from the Board in October, the vacancy being filled December 8, 1913, by the election in convention with the Board of Selectmen of Mr. William A. Muller.


In parting with one of their number, who has never failed
