The past twelve months have been another period of rejuvenation for the Wilbraham Public Library.
The most noticeable change in the physical appearance of the Li- brary is the addition of colorful drapes and a window seat cushion, the gift of the Wilbraham Woman's Club. The material of which the drapes are fashioned is designed appropriately with scenes from the stories of Mark Twain, and it has delighted Library visitors. We are grateful to the members of the Club and friends who had a part in this gift.
Once again the Wilbraham Garden Clubs have kept the Library supplied with plants and with flowers beautifully arranged. We thank the Garden Clubs for their help in making the atmosphere of the Library so pleasant.
Townspeople have been most appreciative of the increased appro- priation last year for the purchase of books. This is reflected in the increased circulation. Figures obtained from the Public Library Division of the Massachusetts Department of Education show that Wilbraham is still considerably under other towns of similar size in the amount of money spent on book buying. We are, therefore, asking that the amount of our appropriation for book purchases be doubled.
A major improvement in the Library building has been the instal- lation of a new linoleum floor covering in the circulation and refer- ence sections and in the adult reading room. Necessary repairs to the floors were made at this time. All work was done by Mr. Stanley J. Boryczka of Holyoke, the low bidder. As the larger part of our special appropriation for renovations and new equipment had to be

LIBRARY REPORT (Continued)
used for this purpose, the Trustees decided to postpone the purchase of new shelving until 1954. We are returning the balance of the special appropriation for 1953 with the request that it be re- appropriated to us this year with an additional sum sufficient to cover the cost of badly needed shelving to house our increasing book collection.
Less visible to the public, but especially appreciated by our Li- brarian are the fresh paint and wall paper in a part of her apart- ment and improved facilities in her kitchen.
It is our opinion that the present and potential use of the Library due to increased population and increased Library consciousness now justifies keeping the Library open more hours per week. To this end we are asking an increase in funds necessary to provide for an attendant at the circulation desk every week-day evening and to insure proper heat and light for the additional hours.
The Library staff has been increased this year by the addition of Mrs. Mary Logan, Mrs. Louise Blossom and Miss Virginia Crandall as part-time assistants. We appreciate their cheerful cooperation as well as the faithful service of our Librarian, Miss Ruth Abbott, and her assistant, Mrs. Vertene Kuehn.
A very special thank you should be said to Mrs. Johan Jensen, who has contributed many, many hours of time as a volunteer worker on our project of cataloging the Library collection.
Several persons have made the Library gifts of books and maga- zines, and these have been most welcome. We thank you all, for your gifts and for your interest in improving our Library facilities.

Planning Board Report
Wilbraham Planning Board held fifteen meetings during 1953.
Nine public hearings were held regarding new or additional sub- divisions.
One public hearing for change of zone from residential A2 to business zone.
One public hearing for change of name of street to one more acceptable to residents on said street.
One public hearing for proper turn around on a dead end street in order to comply with zoning law and requirements to allow residential permit.
Seven sub-division plots have been given final approval consisting of ninety-six building lots and three plots are pending.
The board found it necessary to take adverse action on twenty lots on various sub-divisions as not complying with zoning and health laws.
Two sub-divisions plot plans have been withdrawn requiring no action by the board.

Playground Commissioners' Report
During the past year the commission held seventeen meetings. Since overloading and inadequate bathhouse and toilet facilities again forced the closing of the beach, the board of selectmen and your playground commission found it necessary to discontinue activities on the property loaned to the town.
Following the recommendations of last year's commission, all activities were concentrated at Memorial School. Again bus trans- portation was provided for the children. The program was highlighted by a large increase in the various crafts and participation in all types of sports.
The success of the program was evidenced by a marked increase in attendance over last season, due to the excellent staff in charge. Our sincere thanks to Miss Louise Bradley, Mrs. Ralph Carew, and Mr. Thomas Laurino. The program was climaxed by a very success- ful picnic on the final day.
During the past year a baseball diamond has been undertaken at the Memorial School. It is the fondest hope of the commissioners that this field will be available for next year's program, which would allow increased sports activities and the possible formation of a baseball league.
