REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
-
To the Town of Arlington:
The Trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual report.
During the year 1927 the Robbins Library, keeping pace with the rapid growth of the Town, has greatly increased its usefulness to the townspeople. Many more people have used the library and the total circulation for the year shows a most encouraging gain over all previous years.
The circulation of books and periodicals from the Central Library and Branches was 140,521 in 1927, showing a gain of 20,747 over the circulation of 1926.

Through the Inter-Library loan system 26 books were borrowed from the Boston Public Library, 5 from the Somer- ville Library, 1 from the Newton Library, and 1 from the Free Public Library Commission.
In addition to various collections of books loaned to the teachers for use in their classrooms, we have welcomed the opportunity of sending a collection of books to the telephone operators of Arlington. This type of service could be maintained and greatly enlarged if we had a more adequate collection of books.
265
266
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
The number of new borrowers totaled 1,822, showing a gain of 27 over 1926.
Records from the Heights and the East Branch show a steady increase in new borrowers and a marked increase in circulation over previous years. This gives some idea of the splendid work that could be done at these branches if they had sufficient equipment and books. The increased use of the branches would relieve congestion at the main library, es- pecially in the Children's Room, and would greatly improve the service at all three places.
The following exhibitions in the Robbins Library proved of special interest: a group of illustrations of fine printing from the year book of the American Printers' Association; a model in clay of the Town of Arlington made by several boys in the Junior High School; a collection of mountain views loaned by a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club.
To say that approximately 30,000 persons used the Refer- ence Room during the past year does not in any way give an adequate idea of the service rendered by this department. Al- though the majority of this number came to read the current periodicals and newspapers, many others came for study purposes-to consult dictionaries, encyclopedias, the Reader's Guide, etc .- and still others for definite reference questions to be answered by the librarian. Of this latter group, students, teachers, ministers, and club women form the greater per- centage.
A new pamphlet file was purchased for the Reference Room, and as time goes on this growing collection of unbound material will become more and more valuable. A file of college catalogs has been in constant use by the high school girls and boys.
Each month a list of the outstanding articles in the current magazines has been sent to the Principal of the Junior High West, who has been kind enough to make duplicate copies and distribute them to the Arlington teachers.
We wish to acknowledge and thank the individuals who have contributed books to the library. Gifts of this kind are
267
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
most welcome and help considerably in building up our col- lection. A portrait of Abraham Lincoln done in crayon by Henry W. Berthrong was given to the Library by the artist. Flowers add greatly to the attractiveness of the library, and we wish to thank those who have made contributions from their gardens.
Arlington's children have always been a source of pride. The recent growth in the population of the Town only emphasizes their number and makes adequate provision for them in the library a serious problem. Since the Children's Room attempts to fill educational as well as recreational needs, the order has become a very large one. This department has been showing a steady monthly gain over the corresponding month of last year, while the total circulation of books and periodicals for 1927 was 40,226, a gain of 6,686 over the number circulated in 1926. This is a 30 per cent increase over 1925. The readers in 1927 numbered 14,893, a gain of 1,905 over last year.
When we consider that the Children's Room has had no additions made to it since the room was first opened, it is evident that it has outgrown its present quarters and that there is an immediate need for additional reading-room space where the older boys and girls may read and study without the constant disturbance around them which is unavoidable in the present small room.
The stack-room space is inadequate, because more books are now required for regular circulation as well as for co- operative work with the schools. There are thirteen schools which send pupils to the library for books, and there are also many teachers who have deposits of about twenty-five books at one time for classroom use. Several duplicates of standard titles are required for this purpose.
Since nearly a third of the newly registered borrowers are young children, it has been necessary to build up our collection of picture books and easy readers. The juvenile department endeavors also to keep its readers until they enter high school, and in order to do this, duplicates of many books formerly
268
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
found only in the adult circulation department have been added to its collection. The amount of reference work done with the children has increased considerably, being accomplished frequently under the supervision of the teachers. More reference books are needed to build up the present collection and thus relieve the pressure of reference work done down- stairs, especially among pupils from the junior high schools.
With increased resources the Children's Room could under- take many of the activities which are carried on successfully in other libraries, such as club work, exhibitions, and story hours, all of which are impossible under present conditions. The children have a right to a room where comfort and beauty will be combined with an adequate supply of good books. With this lack of sufficient accommodations for these growing boys and girls comes an overcrowding of the adult reading room, and as a result much discomfort is expressed by adult readers.
To meet the present needs for adequate space for a Chil- dren's Room, duplication of standard works, to answer the many calls for up-to-date scientific and pressing educational questions, we need, first, an enlargement of the present building which will have a room of sufficient size to accommodate all of the boys and girls up to high school age; and second, money for books in such an amount that duplicate copies of popular books can be bought for the two branches and the necessary reference books added each year.
Miss Frances Hubbert and Miss Antoinette White rep- resented the Robbins Library at the convention of the American Library Association held at Toronto in June, 1927. Miss Helen Thompson attended the meetings of the Round Table of the Children's Librarians held at the Boston Public Library. Various members of the staff were present at the Massachusetts Library Club meetings.
Miss Frances Hubbert, who has been in charge of the Robbins Library the past four years, resigned on November 1. While Miss Hubbert was here she reorganized the library and introduced newer methods, thereby greatly. increasing the
269
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
efficiency and service of the library. The many friends she made in Arlington, especially those who were in close association with her, regret her resignation, but will always remember the charm of her personality, her cheerfulness and helpfulness.
Mrs. Lucinda F. Spofford, who for the past ten years has been librarian of the Attleboro Public Library, has been ap- pointed the new librarian and will take up her new duties January 1, 1928.

TOWN ENGINEER'S REPORT
Arlington, Mass., January 12, 1928.
To the Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works. Gentlemen:
Herewith is respectfully submitted the annual report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1927.
The Engineering Department furnishes all the Town departments and committees with such information, plans, designs, estimates and data of an engineering nature as they may require on work being done, or contemplated, also keeps careful notes, measurements and location of new work, addi- tions, changes and extensions as they may occur, and properly records the same for future reference by maps, plans or profiles.
For the number and length of sewer and water mains and streets constructed during the year, see Board of Public Works Report.
-
A large number of plans were verified by this Department and approved by the Board of Survey.
Plans were prepared for the grading of the playground in the rear of the Senior High School, and for grading the play- ground at the Junior High School West, and surveys were made for the grading at the Junior High School East.
ยท Street numbering plans of all new streets have been made, and numbers assigned.
The acceptance of a large number of new streets was peti- tioned for, and plans and estimates were prepared for hearings on the same.
275
276
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Plans have been made by the various companies and cor- porations 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.
The Engineering Department has prepared plans and performed miscellaneous services for all the Town departments and for the Town Counsel.
Sidewalk, street betterment and sewer assessment plans were prepared.
The work of the Engineering Department has been in- creasing rapidly during the last few years and it has been necessary to increase the force to do this additional work.
Annexed to this report is a table giving the names of all streets in the Town, public and private, lengths, widths and total mileage; also a table of general statistics pertaining to the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. AHERN, Town Engineer.
