REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE TOWN LIBRARY, FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1906.
To the Selectmen :
The whole number of volumes now on the catalogue is 8786, of which 287 have been added during the past year. Of these 202 have been purchased from the annual appropriation, 5 have been pur- chased with the income of the Mrs. F. A. Carpenter fund and 80 have been presented by various donors, a list of whom is appended to this report.
The use of the library in 1905 showed some increase over 1904. The number of volumes taken out in 1905 was 10,290, divided as follows :
Main library,
8,851
North Walpole branch, 1,299
Drewsville branch, 140
10,290
This compares with 9,966 taken out in 1904. The number of persons using the main library and reading room in 1905 was 9,661, as compared with 8,813 in 1904.
The branches in Drewsville and North Walpole, in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Putnam and Miss Anna C. Hartnett, re- spectively, have continued to be of much service in those commu- nities. About 50 volumes were purchased for the use of the branch in North Walpole and it is hoped to make a similar purchase dur- ing the coming year. Five volumes of valuable books were pur- chased with the income of the Carpenter fund.

28
The use of electric lights, instead of kerosene, for lighting the library has increased the direct expense but has brought a saving of labor, has made the reading room more comfortable in the sum- mer months and has avoided damage to walls and ceilings by smoke from lamps. The latter has proved to be a serious item of expense in former years.
The reading room has been supplied as usual with a good as- sortment of periodicals without expense to the town, and has been freely used by our own people and has been a favorite resort of sum- mer visitors. Henry G. Wheelock has continued to present the Century, Longman's and the Strand, Hon. J. G. Bellows has presented the Outlook, and John C. Brown has given a file of Pub- lic Opinion for 1905. Other periodicals have been purchased with the fund contributed by individuals.
