LIBRARY REPORT
It is gratifying to report that our library continues to grow
in the esteem of the people as a representative part of the life of the town.
210 volumes have been placed on our shelves during the past year, making a total of 2567. The cir- culation has steadily increased, amounting to 8948 vol- umes against 8530 of last year. Part of this increase, as stated last year, being due to the assistance of Miss Anna Flint, who has continued the good work for the people of East Lyme, by visiting the library on an average of once iln .two weeks and withdrawing books to be held in her care at the Post Office for circulation among the people in that part of the town. Our teachers are waking up to the fact that the library contains many books of value to them and their pupils, and have shown their appreciation by withdrawing a larger number than ever before for school purposes. A large number of books suggested for use in the graded work of the schools of the state are to be found on our shelves, and additions will be made from time to time with the purpose in mind of giving the teach- ers and children of our town access to books of the most value to them in their school work.
There has not been quite the usual contribution of magazines during the year, although Mr. Dimick continues to furnish us with the Outlook. Through the kindness of Miss M. E. Cooke of Sandwich, Mass., we have been sup- plied with the Geographical Magazine.
Books have been donated by Mr. W. W. Parker, Mr. G. P. Amsden, and Mrs. Jennie Piper. Donations of full year's subscriptions to any of the standard 1912 or 1913 magazines, in good condition for binding would be a profitable and acceptable addition to the library.
