REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY
The Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library herewith submit their Annual Report for 1957, including the Report of the Librarian.
This year the Trustees have had most of their meetings in the aft- ernoon in the Conversation Room at the Library and they could not help noticing the many young people of the Town using the Library in connec- tion with their School Work. Miss Day is most helpful in showing the students how to find and use the Reference Books in the Library.
The Fluorescent Lighting on the first floor is now completed and everybody seems to enjoy it.
The floors need refinishing and this work is to be done in the spring. All outside woodwork around the windows will be painted and necessary puttying done. Guess how many windows there are to be done in addition to the dome of the skylight! Then look at the bottom of this Report. You will be surprised. *
We are still adding to our Music Records and hope to purchase a good Recorder so there may be music played in the Library on occasion.
We wish to express our great appreciation for the work done by Miss Gertrude D. Fletcher, on the four books containing pictures of 01d Houses, which she so graciously compiled for the D.A.R. to present to the Library. This picture collection had been started by Mrs. Mabel Whitney Wright and Miss Emily F. Fletcher years ago and it was most pleasant to know that Miss Fletcher's niece helped to complete the work. Miss Howard and Miss Day attended the Meeting of the Merrimack Valley Library Association at Andover in May and another in October at West Boxford. They find such meetings most helpful.
In November, Miss Mary P. Bunce celebrated her 80th Birthday by having a surprise party given her by the Trustees and the Library Staff. She was Librarian from 1900-1918 and in recent years has worked at the Library mending books and pasting clippings from the Westford Wardsman into Scrapbooks.
83 Windows
To carry on repairs and the necessary work of the Library the Trustees ask for the following Appropriation:
1 The sum of Four Thousand Nine Hundred ($4,900.00) Dollars
2 The Receipts from the Dog Licenses in 1957

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
The Librarian herewith submits her fortieth Annual Report of the work of the Library.
It is a pleasure to report that there has been a large increase in the circulation of books, magazines and music records. November was the banner month with circulation of 1,851 Books and 501 Magazines and Pamphlets. One of the reasons for the increase was due to term papers required by one of the teachers at the Academy as it was neces- sary for each pupil to have several sources of information. Also many new residents of the Town have made use of the Library. It is hoped that many others will do so.
Again during November the children of the Frost School, Grades 2 to 5, visited the Library with their teachers during Book Week and two of the classes in the 6th Grade at Roudenbush School. Some of the children had never been in the Library before. Many borrowed books.
This year, for the first time in many years, the children who go in buses have not been allowed to come to the Library during their noon hour. Some children have been brought by their parents or come in aft- er the meetings of Brownies or Scouts, while other children have been deprived of a chance to get books to read.
Compton's Encyclopedia was added to the Reference Collection of the Library and has been most useful. A Rolling Stand was purchased to hold it which makes it possible to move it easily where needed.
The Librarian twice visited Westford Academy at request of the Teachers - first in January, to give added information on numbering the books in their Library and, in September, to give lessons to three Eng- lish Classes on the use of Reference Books, especially the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. In April, Mrs. Crowley brought one of her English Classes to the Library to use the Reader's Guide in finding material for their project. In May, Miss Kenney brought her Class to visit the Library.
Two Girl Scout Troops with their Leaders came to the Library for information and help in working for certain Badges. One Group wished to know how to mend books, the other was interested in how books were prepared and printed.
The Librarian was asked to serve as Reading Councillor for the Boy Scouts working for a Reading Badge. Two have done so.
Three Racks for display of Magazines and Pamphlets, were presented to the Library by the Westford 4-H Citizenship Club. This has made it possible to show Magazines and Pamphlets to better advantage and leave the tables clearer.
The high stool used by the Librarian at the charging desk, was re- finished by Frederick Alcorn as a project in his 4-H Woodworking Club.
A very interesting gift has been the Framed Sampler made by Mary Read in 1822, giving her family record. It was presented by Mrs. Lottie Heywood White, a former resident of Westford, now living in Concord with her daughter. Another gift is the complete file of Old Farmer's Almanacs, from the first one in 1793 thru 1958, given by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Prescott Wright (Mabel Whitney), who made a visit to the Library in November where they met several old friends and made a tour of the building escorted by Miss Bunce.
When the Abbot Worsted Company was closing out their business,
120
many photographs of people and places were given to the Library, which already have been enjoyed by many.
Many gifts of books have been received by the Library this year. Those that are needed for replacements of worn copies and many new titles have been or will be added to our collection. The others will be placed where they can be used.
In the Frost Museum Case, the Exhibits have been: Wood Carving by Mr. Frank E. Krantz - Eagles, Horses and Dogs; Irish Exhibit - Linen and other Souvenirs, brought by Miss Marian F. Winnek, with Dolls of Miss May E. Day; Memorial Day Pictures; Flower Prints; Framed Receipts connected with Westford Academy and Unitarian Church, from Mr. Edward M. Abbot; United Nations Material; Queen Elizabeth and Old Farmer's Almanacs.
Flowers have been provided by Mrs. W. Otis Day, J. Herbert Fletcher, Mrs. Frank J. Shea, Mrs. Thomas McGrath, the Misses Mary E. and Grace A. Burbeck and a purple African Violet, given to Miss Day by the Brownies.
The D.A.R. met at the Library, February 6th, October 9th and Novem- ber 6th. The Leaders of the 4-H Group also made use of the Library for three Meetings. Other Organizations are invited to make use of the Hall upstairs.
At Christmas time the usual lights were in the front windows and in addition, a light in one window on each side. Mr. James E. McAvinew provided the Christmas Tree again and Miss Marian F. Winnek, some ever- green branches. The mantles were decorated by Mrs. W. Otis Day. Books and magazines containing ideas for Christmas, were readily available.
After a lapse of several years the Librarian had the opportunity of attending the Meeting of the American Library Association, which was held in Kansas City. Since it was there in 1938 that she saw the ex- hibit that made her a Doll Collector, she renewed the acquaintanceship and added numerous Dolls to her Collection. She had her first experi- ences in flying and on the way home visited relatives and friends.
There have been some changes in the list of magazines. Etude has expired and the subscription is being finished by Musical America. Look and McCall's are completing two other subscriptions. A new addi- tion to our list is Science Digest. All, except current numbers, may be borrowed for one week. The List for the coming year is as follows :

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF EMILY F. FLETCHER FUND
On the evening of April 25th, in the Westford Academy Auditorium at 8:00 o'clock, the Trustees of this Fund were enabled to present Charles Eggert in "A Canyon Voyage."
This film adventure took place in the scenic canyons of the Green and Colorado Rivers and was expecially interesting because it was the first professional film record of this fabulous country and may well be the last, for much of this area may be covered by reservoir waters, never again to be seen by man.
Respectfully submitted, William R. Taylor John F. Sanders Alice M. Howard, Secretary John A. Rennie May E. Day
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF MARY ATWOOD FUND
On the evening of October 7th, in the Westford Academy Auditorium at 8:00 o'clock, the Bishop's Company of California presented a drama- tization of Alan Paton's novel, "Cry, the Beloved Country." The play is the tragic tender story of a white man and a black man locked in the grimmest of human emotions.
This is the first modern professional company to reunite the forces of Religion and the Professional Theatre. Most of the appear- ances are in the Sanctuaries of Churches where their plays of social or spiritual significance are presented without scenery.
This was a play that had to be watched very carefully because of the lack of scenery. It seemed marvelous that these players could get it over so well to the audience.
Several have spoken of it as one of the finest things we have presented.
Borrowers finding books mutilated or defaced should report the fact to the Librarian.
Respectfully submitted, William R. Taylor John F. Sanders Alice M. Howard, Secretary
