REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY
The Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library herewith submit their Annual Report for 1960 including the Report of the Librarian.
The year 1960 has been an eventful one for the J. V. Fletcher Library. On May 31st Miss May E. Day retired after 42 years of dedi- cated and conscientious service. Mrs. W. Otis Day was appointed as Librarian having served as an Assistant for 8 years.
On August 18th Mr. William R. Taylor, a beloved and respected Trustee for 21 years, passed away. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Taylor, his wife, was appointed to serve in his stead for the remainder of the year.
An Oak Bookcase was purchased for the Children's Room.
A Typewriter was purchased.
New Lights were installed in the Upper Hall.
Visits were made to the Libraries in Harvard, Ayer, Groton and Littleton.
The services of the Bookmobile were extended to Nabnasset begin- ning in November.
At a Special Town Meeting it was voted to increase the number of Trustees from 3 to 6.
It was decided to change the Loan Period for books from 4 weeks to 2 weeks. The Loan Period for New Fiction and Periodicals remains the same - one week.
To carry on repairs and the necessary work of the Library the Trustees ask for the following Appropriation:
1. The sum of $8,957.00
2. The Receipts from Dog Licenses in 1960.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
The Librarian herewith submits her first Annual Report for the year 1960, having assumed the task of serving the Library on June 1, 1960, following the retirement of Miss May E. Day.
The Library suffered the loss of an ardent supporter and friend in August when Mr. William R. Taylor passed away.
It is a pleasure to report increasing use of the many services of the Library. Circulation is growing and new borrowers continue to register. Books have been carried to the Countryside Nursing Home by Stephen Burne and David Floyd. Miss May E. Day continues to supply books to the Graniteville Nursing Home. Books were taken to the Schools by Miss Day until June 1960 when that service was discontinued. However, collections of books and pictures have been loaned as usual to the Schools.
The Bookmobile continues to visit the Library every four weeks and is a valuable supplement to our collection. Its value is evidenced by the increased interest and use by the citizens of Westford. It is of special value in supplementing our Science and Mystery Story Sec- tions. The children especially enjoy the new books with their color- ful jackets. In November the Bookmobile services were extended to Nabnasset - stopping at the Drugstore before coming to the Center. Much interest is shown in the project.
We continue to exchange books with Carlisle.
The Westford Garden Club has met monthly at the Library which has benefited greatly thereby. Each month lovely arrangements were made for the mantels. In September a Flower Show was held and every possi- ble spot was filled with lovely arrangements; during December the whole Library was beautifully decorated with appropriate seasonal ar- rangements. The Garden Club also presented a beautiful copper and brass Watering Pot to the Library to help in the care of our plants. Others have also brought flowers from their gardens to brighten the Library.
The D.A.R., Historical Society and 4-H Citizenship Club have also met in the Assembly Hall.
Our Music Record Collection is growing slowly and an increasing number of people are borrowing them. During December soft Christmas music was played on our Stereo Record Player, which added much to the enjoyment of Library users.
Much interest was shown in the display of Political Badges and Pins loaned by the townspeople. Mr. W. Kenneth Wright, Miss May E. Day, Mrs. Clarence Wright, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Taylor, the Misses Gertrude D. and Julia H. Fletcher and Miss Mary G. Balch were contrib- utors. Miss Lennice Fullford loaned a collection of Old Fashioned Paper Dolls found at the Cold Spring Farm.
During the summer books were rearranged to make a section for the
124
Junior High School students in Grades 7, 8 and 9. The young people have enjoyed having a section of their own and have made increasing use of it.
An Oak Bookcase was purchased which has helped relieve the over- crowded shelves in the Children's Room. This room is much too small for our present and future needs.
A common problem among all Libraries and to which the Westford Library is no exception is that of the Teen-Agers who, in their youth- fulexuberance, create an unhappy situation. A proper respect for the Library taught at home and School would eliminate much of this. After a session of "Library Research" the Library is often left a scene of disorder with Reference Books, paper, candy and gum wrappers scattered over the entire room. The noise, confusion and general inconsidera- tion for the rights of others has discouraged those who would come for serious study and older people who enjoy the Reading Room. It is a condition that must be corrected.
Another serious problem faced by the Library is that of overdue books . It is a costly and time-consuming task to check and notify people that they have overdue books. It should be absolutely unneces - sary, in a responsible society, to remind citizens that the only rea- son books are on the shelves is because someone had consideration enough to return the books when due.
Your Librarian had the privilege of attending several Library Meetings during the year. The Spring Meeting of the Merrimac Valley Library Association was held at the Chelmsford Library and was attend- ed by Miss May E. Day, Miss Alice M. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Taylor and your Librarian. Miss Howard accompanied your Librarian to Topsfield for the Fall Meeting. It was also a privilege to go to Northampton for the meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association in the Spring. Mrs. Thomas McGrath also attended this meeting.
Mrs. Virgil E. Murdock has kindly consented to write our Publici- ty Notices.
At Christmas time Mrs. William R. Taylor presented to the Chil- dren's Room a beautiful Poinsettia Plant in memory of her husband, Mr. William R. Taylor. Another gift has been that of a Rubber Plant given by Mr. Clifford J. Courchaine.
Many hours of free labor have been given by Miss Avis E. Day, Miss Elizabeth R. Moore, Miss Priscilla Fletcher and Miss Paulette St. Onge. Miss Janet Nesmith and Janice Marchand have been earning Girl Scout Merit Badges by donating time to the Library.
It has been a pleasure to work with Mrs. Thomas McGrath and Mrs. John F. Sanders as Assistants. I express sincere appreciation to the Trustees for their help, encouragement and cooperation and to the Library patrons for their kindness to me.
The list of magazines follows. Current History has been added. All except current numbers may be borrowed for one week.

Mary Atwood Lecture Fund again presented the United Nations Sing- ers on October 21st to the students and staff of the Academy at 2 P.M. The students really outdid themselves in showing their appreciation to the 33 Singers, after which a guided tour of the Fletcher Quarry was enthusiastically enjoyed by the Group, most of whom had never seen such a place. The Westford 4-H Citizenship Club entertained the Sing- ers at dinner in the First Parish Church. Tables were decorated with United Nations place mats and apples with flags of all nations in them were the joy of the Singers. At 8 P.M., again at the Academy 400 en- joyed the entertainment. In appreciation of the kindness and hospital- ity of the Citizenship Club, the U. N. Singers invited them to New York City and a personal tour of the U.N. Building, which 12 members with their Leaders and the guidance of Miss Avis E. Day, did enjoy on the weekend of December 8, 9, 10 and 11. Many letters of appreciation of the townspeople and children were received by the Library Trustees.
