LIBRARY REPORT.
In compliance with statutory requirement (Chap. 304, Sec. 6, Acts of 1888), the Trustees of the Westford Public Library respectfully submit the following report for the year ending February 21, 1891 :
The selection of books for the library has been the most important duty of the Trustees during the past year ; and in this matter, the wise policy of the past has been adhered to. While good heed has been given to the expressed wishes of citizens, the wants of the library itself have not been disregarded. Books that should be read, as well as those that are read, have been carefully selected ; and the library, in all its classes, has thus been made better as well as larger. In former reports the value of the library as a means of education has been justly dwelt upon; and it is believed that its resources in this direction have been greatly increased during the past year.
The percentage of books read from the several classes, as reported by the librarian, indicates, however, that a large majority of our readers have sought recreation rather than instruction. And the library would indeed be unworthy of the generous support it receives if it did not amply provide light and entertaining reading matter for young and old. It may well be doubted whether it had any more important function than that of providing recreation for those whose lives are bur- dened with hard labor and heavy cares.
( 47 )
While it is no part of the duty of the Trustees to give advice as to what should be read, and while they do not presume to criticise the tastes of readers, it may be permitted them to suggest to parents the desirability of wisely controlling the use made of the library by their children. In every class there are wholesome and in- teresting books adapted to youthful readers. If guided only by their own undeveloped tastes, they are in dan- ger of reading only that which affords excitement or diversion. It is undoubtedly better for them to read poor books than to read nothing ; but why not read, and re-read the best ? It is believed that many young readers would derive as much real enjoyment from the library, and vastly more benefit, if they were encouraged to spend a part of their leisure in reading suitable works of history, biography and science. They may not be aware that the true stories are as entertaining as the fictitious ones ; that the heroes and heroines who have actually lived on earth are not less attractive than the morbid creations of many novelists ; or that the authentic records of science, travel and discovery abound in won- ders and adventures more startling, if less grotesque, than imaginary moose-hunts or impossible expeditions to the moon. The masterpieces of fiction may well be read, and re-read, for they embody in the finest literary form noble ideals of character and action; but the library provides ample means not only for the amusement but also for the self-instruction and the rational self-culture of the young. It may be so used as to remedy or sup- plement deficiencies in school training, and thus supply in part the benefits which in cities are derived from evening schools. It is not the fault of the library if any of our youth have spent their precious leisure in reading only that which is light, trashy or fictitious, and
( 48 )
then begun the serious struggle of life with minds scantily stored and poorly developed. The liberality of the town has supplied the books which are essential conditions of knowledge and power; the use made of them is necessarily left for the people to determine. Only let it be remembered that the habit of reading good books in leisure hours must be formed in childhood, if formed at all. Surely it is wise for parents to encour- age a habit which is a guarantee of honorable and intel- ligent citizenship, and a pledge of a useful and successful career.
The need of ampler accommodations for the library becomes more and more apparent as the number of books increases. In order to make convenient room for recent additions, two new cases of shelves have been made. But the time is fast approaching when the library will have completely outgrown the room in which it is now kept. Wealthy sons of Acton, Concord, Lit- tleton and other sister towns have conferred a perpetual benefit upon those communities-and secured for them- selves the grateful remembrance of future ages- by giving fine library buildings to the towns in which their boyhood was spent. Unless some philanthropic son of Westford in like manner associates his name for all time with a cherished local institution of his birthplace, the people of the town must soon provide the building which their own convenience and the importance of the library require.
The catalogue issued last year, with its excellent arrangement and extended classification, proves to be a most helpful guide to the treasures of the library. About sixty copies of it are now in use.
In behalf of the town the Trustees gratefully acknowledge the gift to the library of the following
