REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY


During this year, the Library Building has been shingled and given a coat of paint. This as you will note from the list of ex- penditures consumed a great deal of the appropriation and did not leave as much available for the purchase of new books as we might have had otherwise.


The present library building has served the citizens for a great many years and naturally there has been added from year to year numerous volumes, so that at the present time the Library is very much over-crowded and there is practically no room to add new volumes which should be purchased for the Library.


The Librarian is working under great difficulties and space is entirely lacking for the proper shelving and arranging of any new books. Considering the years this library has served the Town, we believe that the time has arrived when additional space is imperative. The town is in no condition to erect a new Library. We, therefore, suggest that the present building be retained and an addition built of sufficient size so that the present quarters may serve for many years to come, and, until such time as the Town is in financial condition to erect a Library worthy of the Town. For this purpose, we are asking an appropriation of $5,000.00 to be used in making the suggested changes, and providing equipment for this very much needed adition.


Expenditures for the Library for the year 1929 are as follows:


Books


$220.41


Magazines


25.35


Repairs to Books


61.19


Postage and Supplies


13.69
