A supplementary catalogue, which has for some time been much needed, will soon be issued and will no doubt be found a great con- venience to the patrons of the library.
Some ten volumes of recent Harper's and Century magazines are expected soon from the binders, which, in addition to the books pur- chased in February, will make about 125 new books added this year to the library. The state has also furnished about 25 books. The librarian reports 2,004 books loaned during the year, and the total number of books in library as 1,337. It is desired that as many years as possible of our annual town reports be collected and bound for reference in our library, and we would be glad to receive the older copies especially.
