The Businessmen's Section and the Photocopying Ser- vice are enjoying wide usage and provide still further ex- amples of how the Library is broadening its services to all segments of the Cominunity.
For School Students, the service of supplying materials for reading lists and special assignments was maintained. Nineteen school classes visited the Library in 1968 for orientation and "reference" sessions. The Library Council for Junior High students was formed under the guidance of Miss O'Brien, Assistant Librarian. They held weekly meetings, established a "constitution", had film programs and some money-raising activities. Story Hours at the Main Library were increased from twice a month to every week, with Mrs. Malcolm and Mrs. Lengyel serving as volunteer story-tellers. Children's films have added a new dimension to the story-hour program.
An Essay Contest for grades 4-6 held in March, and an Art Contest in May proved both popular andrewarding for all who participated. The Summer Reading Program was so popular this year that, on the very first day, 1000 books were checked out of the Library. Over 800 child ren registered, with 600 completing the required reading and attending the Zoomobile Party in August. These activites as well as the Lecture Series are sponsored and financed by the Friends of the Lynnfield Library, who continue to set an example of excellence in this field.

Mr. John Leonard Library Trustee
Evidence of interest and support among townspeople for their new Main Library was manifested by the number of generous gifts received during the year. A fund in memory of Lt. Allan Jordan provided a beautiful display case for the foyer, an index table for large volumes, and complete sets of the Cambridge Ancient and Medieval Histories. The Friends of the Library contributed the carpeting in the adult browsing area and six new reading chairs. Some fine landscaping in the front of the new building was done by the Lynnfield Center Garden Club, a record browser stand was given as a memorial to Mrs. Walter Kuestenmacher, paintings were presented by Mrs. Barbara Barton and Mr. Philip Perkins, and Mr. George Koniares contributed 100 lecture chairs and a vacuum
48
cleaner. The collection of records has come from many different sources too numerous to mention, as have many gift books and gift subscriptions of periodicals.
The past year has proven the wisdom of the citizens of Lynnfield in supporting with their tax dollars the growth and development of their Library Department, and gives a good indication of what they may expect in the future. .The Trustees, together with the library staff, the patrons, and all the townspeople who make use of the Library, may look to that future with great confidence.

This years Annual Fire Report reflects a sharp increase in the number of fires over the 1968 Report. It would seem worthwhile to consider the reasons for this increase which has set an all-time high record in our history.
The most prevelant increase appears in the number of brush and woods fires. Many of these fires covered large areas and entailed as much as twelve hours of fire fighting by fifteen to thirty firefighters.
Our Fire Wages soared during this brush fire season and it was necessary to acquire a transfer of funds to meet payroll demands.
There is little doubt that extreme dry woods conditions played a large part in this brush fire season. However, in most cases the actual origin of these fires can be pir pointed to carelessness and vandalism.
Our rate of false alarms continue to show an upward trend. These are costly to the Town and dangerous to the Firemen.
The third factor which has pushed our total activity and cost of operation upward is the building fires. We are reporting thirteen such fires.
This Department has been plagued by building fires in vacant or abandoned structures. There is little doubt that their origin is anything but highly suspicious. This Department has called upon the State Fire Marshall's office on several occasions to assist us in the investigation of this problem.
The Fire Prevention Section of this Department has carried on with their work of inspecting all public buildings within the Town to uncover and eliminate fire hazards. This section also conducts fire drills in the schools and supervises the installation of oil burners in the Town.
Attendance and participation by members of this Depart- ment in all activities has been excellent. Each member of this organization deserves the highest praise for their devotion to duty in a most difficult year.
