During the last few years considerable money has been spent for the maintenance and repair of the building and for the most part general conditions are good. There still remains, however, certain interior work to be done, which is planned for 1951.
Chief improvements visible are in the repair of gutters and down- spouts and painting of the building.
The number of volumes on file in the library is slowly increasing, and during the year approximately $500 was spent for new books.
The librarian and trustees are ambitious to increase the library service by the gradual growth of the book fund and inclusion of records for circulation at a future time when facilities are available. The present average per capita appropriation for libraries in Massa- chusetts is $1.73, which is somewhat more than the town of Wilbra- ham is now expending. The average appropriation per capita for books in Massachusetts is 22c, while Wilbraham averages just half this amount.
We acknowledge with appreciation the contribution by Mr. Lloyd Hoover of the Scientific American magazine, and a book to be chosen; and the contribution by Mrs. Robert McDonald of the magazine Fortune.
