In this connection we would acknowledge the re- ceipt of donations from Mrs. Leonard Luce and Messrs. George T. Day, Alvan Fisher, John M. Fletcher, William E. Frost, Sherman L. Prescott, Thomas E. Symmes, and Nahum H. Wright.
To complete the sets to date there are needed the Town Reports of 1840, '42, 43, '47, '48 and '50; and the School Committee Reports of 1854-5, '55-6, '57-8,'60-1, '65-6, '66-7,' 67-8, '68-9, '72-3 and '80-1. The contri- bution to the Library of the missing numbers is earnestly recommended ; and to this end it is respectfully sug- gested to each householder that the family archives be searched, and the desired documents found and presented forthwith.
It is now nearly nine years since the issue of the last complete catalogue of the Westford Public Library. Since then something more than two thousand volumes have been added. These are catalogued in an imperfect way by titles under their respective classes, but not by
( 40 )
authors, in eight successive annual supplements. In the present state of affairs it is necessary to consult nine lists to discover what books there are in any one class. It is also desirable to re-arrange some of the books, so that all the works of any one author in each class may be brought together on the Library shelves. This is not now the case in every instance, owing to the intervals at which the various works were added to the Library and their numbers assigned. The desired changes would require a corresponding change in the numbering of the books, which of course cannot be done until a new cata- logue is issued. The edition of the catalogue is ex- hausted, there being only one unused copy in the posses- sion of the Librarian. 'The supply of some of the earlier supplements is also exhausted. For these reasons, among others, we would respectfully recommend that a new cat- alogue be issued during the coming Library year, and. that the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for that purpose.
In accordance with the provisions of the statutes relative to public libraries, passed by the Legislature of 1887-8, the Directors of the Library will hereafter be a continuous body, the term of office being extended to three years, and only one third of the members retiring annually. One of the advantage of this change, will be the facility with which any plan for the manage- ment or improvement of the Library can be carried into effect from year to year.
We would gratefully acknowledge the gifts of two volumes of the Unitarian Review, from the Unitarian
( 41 )
Society, one volume from Mr. Frank Calvert, one volume from Rev. E. B. Maglathlin, a set of the "Symmes" Alma- nacks, from Mr. Thomas E. Symmes, a pamphlet from Col. John B. Clarke, of Manchester, N. H., and five dol- lars from Mr. Thomas H. Elliott, of Lowell, for the pur- chase of books.
We respectfully recommend that the usual sum of one hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for the Library for the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted. ELIZABETH S. ABBOT, FREDERIC A. FISHER, WALTER J. SLEEPER, Directors of Public Library.
