It is hoped soon to establish a card catalogue system in con- nection with our library work, which will give much better accommodation to our patrons and be particularly useful to scholars taking up certain courses of study.
Books have been given during the past year as follows :- Mrs. E. W. Lundahl 51, Mrs Mary A. Parsons 12, F. T. Butman 9, State of Mass. 18, Rev. Augustus Caldwell 1, James C. Mel- vin 1, Edward D. Lawrence, Bart., 1.
Magazines have been received from Mrs. J. W. Perkins, Miss Gertrude Emery, Mrs. Mary A. Parsons, Mrs. James Rourke, Mrs. L. R. Roundy and E E. Elder.
We are pleased to mention the gift of a fine portrait of the late George T. Angel, presented by his wife. Mr. Angel was a former resident of our town and often mentioned his sojourn here. with pleasure.
We have also received several pictures and interesting docu- ments from Mrs. Mary A. Parsons which we hope to have soon displayed in our Reading Room.
254 cards have been issued at the main library and 94 cards at the branch, 348 individuals having enjoyed the privileges of our library during the past year. About 4,000 books have been loaned during the same period.

The Trust Funds of the Lynnfield Public Library are in the hands of the Town Treasurer, who has rendered an account of same under the head of Trust Funds (see page 54).
The growth and development of our library in the past has been made possible by the generous Trust Funds which we have received and by the annual appropriation of the Dog Tax money refunded by the county.
We trust that the good work of our library is being appre- ciated and that we shall continue to receive the support of the community as in years past.
