REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES


Among the donors to the library during the year were Mr. Alfred Bacon, Miss Esther Bailey, Cambridge Public Library, City of Cambridge, Dr. George W. Cutter, Mr. John A. Dade- kian, Mrs. R. L. Fisher, Mr. Thomas Gray, Estate of Miss M. J. Jacques (former resident), Mrs. E. C. Prescott (collection of etchings), Mrs. Harold Rice (310 post cards of different countries), Mrs. Peter Schwamb, Mrs. Edward C. Turner and Mrs. Everett P. Turner.


Thanks are due Mr. Charles S. Parker for continuing to print gratuitously the lists of New Books in the columns of the Arlington Advocate. He has also, as usual, given a complete file of that paper for the year.


Exhibitions from the Library Art Club have been as follows:


January. No. 277. Mother Goose by F. Richardson.


February. No. 278. Pictures for Children by Jessie Willcox Smith.


March. No. 279. Merry Animals by Cecil Aldin.


April. No. 280. Uniforms of the United States Army. 1775-1918.

The use of the Reading Room and Stack Room for study and reference work cannot be adequately shown by figures. All sorts of questions are asked by young and old, in the library and by telephone. Requests for information come also from other towns.


Co-operation with teachers is still further desired.


Attention should be called to the bulletin boards near the counter on which are displayed attractive book-jackets and other items of interest. A set of Photo Flower postals has


320


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


been shown monthly according to the flowers then in bloom and have been much admired.


At the suggestion of the Bureau of Education, the Children's Librarian used the State Certificate Reading Lists among twenty-five school children of different grades. Much interest was shown, the children writing brief reports of books read and receiving a certificate which was displayed in the room later.


The Trustees take great pleasure in drawing attention to the fact that Miss Elizabeth J. Newton has completed a period of continuous and faithful service as Librarian for fifty years. This is an extraordinary record, and is a source of pride for us all.


Mention should also be made of the long service of Judge James P. Parmenter as Trustee, who for thirty-nine years has given freely of his time and intelligence to the interests of the Library.


It is hoped that the Town will continue to provide for its liberal support.


Respectfully submitted,


CYRUS E. DALLIN, CHARLES A. KEEGAN, WILLIAM A. MULLER, CAIRA ROBBINS, M. HELEN TEELE, ARTHUR J. WELLINGTON,

Plans have been made by the various companies and corporations and filed in the Town Engineer's office, showing the locations of structures for which permits were granted by the Joint Board during the year.
