Report of Trustees
-OF-
Canaan Town Library.
ORGANIZATION.
Chairman, S. R. Swett.
Secretary, H. G. Robie.
Treasurer, W. G. Fogg.
The trustees of the Canaan Town Library, have been able to purchase a few new books, out of the small amount with which they are compelled to carry on the Library work. They have just been received, and are being covered and labeled, and will be catalogued in time to go into circulation at the beginning of the official year. The Library still continues to increase in pub- lic favor, which is strong proof of the instruction and education obtained from the Libraries, and the surest way to maintain that favor is to increase the income so that the number of books shall also increase. The accompanying reports of the Librarian, and Treasurer show the circulation, condition and financial situation or the Library.
Respectfully submitted,
S. R. SWETT, H. G. ROBIE. W. G. FOGG.
