Police Signal System.


The police signal system continues to act as an effective agent of this department, and during the year the patrol wagon has brought to police headquarters 750 prisoners, making 638 runs, and covering a distance of 2049 miles.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.


To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council of Newton, Massachusetts:


The Trustees of the Newton Free Library are pleased to be able to report the continued and increasing usefulness of the institution under their charge. The year has been one of efficient management and steady growth. New fields of service have been opened, the opportunities for the public to use the Library have been increased, and the liberality of the city government, supplemented by the income of endow- ment funds, has enabled us to increase the stock of books as rapidly as is desirable.


The report of the Superintendent and the tables pre- pared by the Librarian, herewith submitted, give the details of the work for the year. From these it appears that the total number of volumes delivered during the year for home use was 105,988, of which a few more than one half were sent out through the village agencies. The number de- livered to the several schools of the city was 6,635. The total number of names registered for taking books is now 10,615. Something over two thousand volumes have been added to the Library during the year, and the total number of volumes now in the Library is 34,730. On the average each book in the Library is taken out three times during the year, and as most books taken out are read by more than one person, it is evident that our books are finding their true usefulness. This might be increased, however, by a still more rapid circulation, and it is desirable that our citizens


8


NEWTON FREE LIBRARY.


should have a more lively sense of the treasures at their command. The time should quickly come when every village shall have a well appointed reading room in connec- tion with the Library agency, where every advantage of the central building, with the exception of expensive books of reference, can be enjoyed. This would undoubtedly tend to a larger use of the Library books.


Among the valuable books of reference added to the Library during the year are Larousse's Grand Dictionnaire Universel du XIXe Siecle, 17 volumes ; the concluding volumes of the Century Dictionary; Sargent's Silva of North America, a work of special value; Walker's Inter- national Atlas ; the new Atlas of Massachusetts; and the Inconographic Encyclopædia.


Among the gifts received by the Library were an ex- cellent copy of the celebrated Macklin Bible, ten volumes, large folio, richly illustrated with engravings from the most eminent English Artists, presented by Mr. Lewis H. Farlow. This is a rare treasure, worthy of the attention of every lover of beautiful specimens of the book-maker's art. The Library received several other valuable gifts during the year.


The work of fitting the Library building for electric lighting, for which we asked an appropriation last year, was carried through early in the summer, and the new light is a great convenience as well as a safeguard against fire. It is doubtful whether it will save any expense, but if it costs no more than gas the change will be amply justified.


A very important work of the year has been the publica- tion of a new catalogue of the Library, prepared on what is known as the Dictionary plan, which is found to be the most convenient for practical use. The preparation of the copy for this volume of nearly seven hundred large octavo pages and the reading of the proof, entailed a great deal of hard work for the Librarian and her first assistant, as it was done without the employment of extra help. The volume


9


REPORT OF TRUSTEES.


was printed in a workmanlike manner by the Newton Journal Job Office. We asked for and received an appropriation of $2,700 to do this work, and were able to turn back into the city treasury $444.04 of that sum. We can report that the work was done well and economically.


From the beginning of the year 1892, the Library is to be kept open continuously from 10 A. M. to 8 P. M., thus doing away with the intermission from 12 to 2, which has been the rule hitherto.


A new agency is to be established at Waban, beginning with the New Year, with tri-weekly service of books from the Library.


It has been found necessary to employ one additional assistant Librarian.


The amount expended from the several endowment funds for the year was as follows :


From the Jewett Art Fund .


. $184 75


From the Alden Speare Fund 64 25


From the Charles Read Fund 653 15


From the Farlow Reference Fund .

EDWIN B. HASKELL, President.


REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.


To the Board of Trustees of the Newton Free Library:


GENTLEMEN :- The appropriation asked by the trustees for the Library for the last year was $11,280.00, in connec- tion with a carefully revised schedule of expenses, and a special appropriation of $2,700 for a new catalogue, and I am happy to state that the entire sum asked for was generously granted by the City Council.


The work of the Library during the past year has been one of unusual activity. Early in the season the entire building was wired and equipped with Incandescent Electric lights which we find to be a great improvement over gas. The air through the Library is very much better, especially so during the warm weather. The circulation for the year has been 105,988 volumes. The largest number of books delivered at the Library on any one day was 750 on March 7th, which is forty-eight in excess of any previous day since the opening of the Library.


The Library while increasing in size, is also growing towards a still greater degree of usefulness, if we may judge from its use and the deep interest taken by a large number of citizens.


To meet the demand of a large and growing section of the city, we have found it necessary to open another agency at Waban. During the year there has been an increase in the number of books delivered at the different school houses throughout the city. The teachers and scholars alike unite in hearty commendation of the great advantages to them of


12


NEWTON FREE LIBRARY.


the Library through the delivery system. 6,635 volumes were delivered at the schools during the past year.


The Library is now open every secular day, with the exception of legal holidays, from 10 A. M., until 8 P. M., and the Reading Room from 8 A. M., until 9 P. M. The number of volumes in the Library December 31, 1891, was 34,730. The number added during the year was 2,117. The delivery system which is now recognized as an essential means of making the Library useful, retains its strong hold upon the community. During the past year 53,883 volumes have been delivered at the agencies throughout the different parts of the city. The number of books covered during the year was 14,208. Amount of money received from fines and bulletins was $416.99.


Some changes have been made in the Library force during the year. In the middle of the year Miss M. Ella Chase retired from the position of assistant. Her place has since been supplied by Miss Louise Stuart of New- ton, a lady of fine education, well read, of literary tastes and fond of labor among books. Into her hands falls much of the work of completing the card catalogue. The work of the Library is constantly increasing, and it was deemed advisable to add another assistant to the staff in Edmands Hall, and Miss Clara R. Dennen of West Newton has been appointed to that position. Miss Dennen has been connected with the Library for some time, and is thoroughly conversant with the duties required and is in every way well qualified to fill the position.


A long felt want has been supplied in the new and handsome Catalogue just published. It was printed at the Newton Journal Office, Newton, where great pains was taken with it. A new and very clear tpye was used and the result is a very satisfactory volume, containing nearly seven hundred pages. The work registered over 34,000 volumes, and is throughout a most admirable specimen of

tpyography. To Miss Elizabeth P. Thurston, our faithful and accomplished Librarian, and her efficient assistant, Miss Louise Stuart, especially, is due the grateful acknowledge- ment of the trustees and patrons of the Library for their skilful and painstaking efforts in the long and tedious work of compiling this large volume. Only those familiar with statistical work or with the peculiar duties of com- pilation that form a large part of such labor can fully ap- preciate the care necessary to accomplish perfect results.


We are indebted to several prominent citizens of Newton for many valuable gifts to the Library, among which was a fine picture of the Massachusetts Senate of 1891, from Senator Gorham D. Gilman; from Lewis H. Farlow, a Bible in nine large folio volumes very fully illustrated.


We have been placed in such good condition during the year that our material wants for the year to come will be small outside of the expense of the regular administration of the Library. Our Public Documents, through the po- liteness of our representatives in Congress and of our State legislative representatives and authorities, have increased so rapidly that additional shelf room has been put into Read Hall.


In the Appendix, detailed statistical tables are given, which present the comparative work and condition of the Library, and its results during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN C. KENNEDY, Superintendent.
