LIBRARY REPORT.
The Trustees of Westford Public Library respectfully submit the following report for the year ending, Feb. 23, 1895 :
The Trustees are happy to report a year of increased useful- ness in regard to the Public Library. Eight hundred and twenty- eight more books have been issued by the Librarian during the year of 1894-'95 than during the previous year, and the class of books has been, on the whole, of a higher order than before. It is found, indeed, by comparing notes with the Trustees of other libra- ries, that the standard of books added to Westford Library, and of those read by its patrons, is above the average of that in most Public Libraries. Recently, effort has been made by some of the teachers in the District Schools to bring their scholars more in touch with the books in the Library, and in several cases teachers have taken pains, not only to recommend certain books to children, but have taken personal trouble to get books for them. The Super- intendent of Schools, also, has, we understand, given teachers a list of books which they are requested to read to the pupils under their charge. And it is well known that the scholars in the Academy are often sent to the Library for valuable information on a large variety of subjects. All this general interest increases the practical value of our Library to a degree which can hardly be esti- mated. And it must be admitted that this Library has become one of the most important and indispensable features for good in our Town; not only of an intellectual nature, but of a moral nature.
One of the most prominent facts in all reformatories is that, if the minds of the unfortunate inmates are kept interested in good and harmless things instead of being allowed to dwell on things evil and harmful, a long step toward reform is gained. Knowing the activity of the minds of children and young people, is it possi- ble to over-estimate the importance of furnishing for them pleasant and profitable food of an intellectual and literary nature? This our Library is doing more and more. It would surprise many of the people of our Town, not accustomed to visit the Library, could they know how large a proportion of our children are interested in
74
entertaining books of travel, of biography, of science as it is simplified for the young, of books on natural history, including studies of birds, insects and animals of all kinds. The time has gone by when children can only be entertained by the silly and exciting story. They have learned that the truths of the universe and the development of nature everywhere about them are far more interesting than the most alluring fiction.
We are all being awakened to the fact that the time is at hand when the Library must extend its usefulness by means of a suita- ble building for the accommodation and preservation of its books, and, also, by means of a general reading-room properly furnished with all conveniences for reading and study. Our young people are worth too much to us, and to society at large, to have no better place of common meeting-ground than the band-stand, the street- corner or the village store. And if we are true descendants of our forefathers who, a hundred years ago, acted so wisely in establish- ing this Library, we shall see to it that a suitable place is soon pro- vided for what they so generously bequeathed us.
It has been the hope of the Trustees, as well as of many other inhabitants of the Town, that some one of the men of wealth who grew to boyhood and manhood under the elevating influences of Westford, would feel a desire to forever associate his name with his native Town by presenting it with a handsome Library Building, as has been done by men of wealth in many of our neighboring Towns. Some effort has been made by individuals toward securing such a gift, but, thus far, without success. And the time has come when, as the individual gift is not forthcoming, Westford, as a Town, should take the initiatory steps toward the erection of such a building. The best possible piece of land for the purpose has, as we know, recently been taken possession of by the Town, and we know, also, that according to the State law in regard to land secured in this way, work upon that land toward the object in view must be begun within a limited time. If, as sometimes in moments of self-gratulation we say, Westford is in advance in some respects of many New England villages, is it not due to the fact that for the past century she has had the uplifting influences of the Library and Academy ? A far-sighted, public-spirited and generous body of men were they who a hundred years ago, within the brief space of five years, established the Academy and " Social Library " and built the " First Parish Meeting-House." Far less able, financially, were they to do their work then, than are we to do the work required o
75
us now. The subscribers to that Library fund stated in their pre- amble that they were desirous, especially, for the advantages of that Library for those who were to come after them. Twenty-five men - comparatively, a very large number, considering the size of the Town - organized that Library. Most of our towns- people are descendants of, or in some way connected with, those men. Does the Town not owe them something more tangible than a debt of gratitude? Is it not the duty of the Town, as it should be the pleasure likewise, to continue their work, in a way that it shall do the most positive good, for another century ? And your Trustees feel that the Library has now reached that state where its useful- ness can best be promoted only when it shall be properly housed, and the advantages to be derived from it are gained under the most approved modern methods and conveniences. Few Libraries of the size of the Westford Library have better collections of books than has this. Some of the most valuable reference books of the day have been added within the past few years, and many students from all parts of the Town are glad to refer to them ; the Town officers find valuable data therein, our old soldiers read the army histories and again live over the war and go marching on to victory.
Last year attention was called in our report to the books in the Miscellaneous Department, which contains many of the best books in the Library. We would like now to call special attention to the books in Class F, under the head of " Agriculture, Philosophy and Science." Books under such titles as "Homes without Hands," " How to Know the Wild Flowers," "The Feathered Friends," " Life on the Sea Shore," "First Forms of Vegetation," " Ocean Wonders," and many others which might be mentioned, are all works of intrinsic worth, and books which are a delight and help to every one who reads them.
In conclusion, may we urge upon you, our fellow-citizens and friends, the conscientious consideration of the subject of a suitable Library Building for our Town. Westford is a prosperous Town, it is a Town of whose people we are proud, it is a Town which no one of us need be ashamed to claim as his native place. And as we look back with pride and gratitude to that band of self-sacrific- ing men who, a century since, came forward loyally and organized the "Social Library," which, at the present time, has developed into the " Westford Public Library," shall we not take steps to carry on that work in such a manner that a century hence our descendants. shall look back with pride and gratitude to us? If those who have
76
gone before to the Unknown Land are conscious of what is passing here, what a glorious satisfaction it would be to the founders of this Library if, as the sun sets on the Library Centennial year of 1897, its parting rays could illuminate the windows of a Library Building erected by this people in loving memory of the fathers and mothers of our past and in loving solicitude for our sons and daughters of the future.
The Library is indebted for gifts during the past year to the following : to Mrs. Helen H. Prescott, " Littell's Living Age, 1893 ; " to the publishers, for a work called " Oahspe ; " to Topo- graphical Survey Commission, an " Atlas "; to Hon. Geo. A. San- derson, "Catalogue of Lawrence Academy ;" to Mrs. S. D. Fletcher, "Catalogue Chelmsford Public Library ; " to Mr. John M. Fletcher, " R. B. Thomas Almanac, 1894 ;" to Mrs. L. L. Tap- pan, Mrs. J. A. Jones and Mrs. F. E. Wild for gifts of money.
The insurance on the books in the Library is $4,500.

It is to be regretted that the dog tax could not have been paid in to the Town Officers a little earlier, as the Trustees have been somewhat embarrassed in regard to their expenditures. They did not know until too late to make wise selections of books, the amount they were to have. Consequently, the usual number of books has not been added the past year, but, the money having now been paid. steps will immediately be taken to make up the deficiency.
We recommend that the usual sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for the purchase of books during the ensuing year. Respectfully submitted.
