On December 11th, Miss Nettie E. Baston retired from her position as Reference Librarian on account of con- tinued ill health. It is with regret that the Trustees and the librarian accept her resignation and express their appreciation of her twenty-five years of faithful and devoted service.
Miss Frances Hubbert was appointed Associate Librarian on October 1st. She is a graduate of the Pratt Institute School of Library Science in Brooklyn, has also taken a training course in the Public Library at Portland, Oregon, and for three years has been in the New York Public Library as First Assistant Librarian of the Extension Division.
Miss E. Louise Jones, Field Secretary of the Massachusetts Division of Public Libraries, made a survey of our library during the past year, and recommended certain methods of reorganization, among which were the reclassifying and re- cataloguing of books and the introduction of the Newark Charging System. During the coming year, we shall carry out Miss Jones's suggestions, and with other contemplated improvements hope to broaden the scope and activities of the library and make it a more vital force in the community.
