EIGHTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
WILLIAM J. LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Our circulation continued to increase in 1938, especial- ly among adult readers, and it has now reached a total of 2,608 volumes.
During the past year the shelves were looked over and 200 books of slight present value were removed, increas- ing the attractiveness of the library and making room for new additions. 191 books have been added, 148 by purchase and 43 by gift. 30 of these were presented by the Division of Public Libraries from the State Certificate list and 13 were gratefully received from individuals, in- cluding a "Narrative History of South Scituate-Nor- well," given by the author, Joseph Foster Merritt. The library now contains about 2,300 volumes.
It is open during the school year on Wednesdays front 2:30 to 4 and from 7 to 8 p. m. In the summer vacation it is open during the evening hour only. It is free to all resi- dents of the town.

TOWN OF NORWELL
FORESTRY
The appropriation for Town Forests has been inade- quate for the work that should have been done.
The work has been limited to release work, or cutting out sprouts that were interfering with the growth of the young trees planted three years ago by W. P. A. in the Washington Memorial Town Forest on Circuit Street. These trees have made a satisfactory growth, but need- ed releasing.
The hurricane of September 21 blew down two or three large trees and a number of smaller ones in the town forest north of the old high school grounds. As most of these are within a small area, they constitute a possible fire hazard. It is expected that the W. P. A. project for the removal of fire hazards caused by the hurricane will take care of this one.
A large proportion of the trees in Gaffield Park were blown down. It is recommended that all the old trees in the park be removed for the benefit of the younger growth.
