33 REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES


North Hampton, N. H., Feb. 8, 1923.


During the past year we have purchased 46 new books of which 34 were fiction. The library now contains about 2640 volumes of which about 1500 are fiction. The reading room has been provided with the same maga- zines as last year.


The work of grading the grounds in front of the li- brary building has been started and should be finished in the spring. We recommend that a portion of our ap- propriation, which is included in the "miscellaneous " item, be used for this purpose.


The contract for purchasing and erecting a stone for our Memorial tablets was let to Smalley, Hobbs and Hunter of Rochester, N. H., early in the past year, but as a result of a series of unforeseen and exasperating de- lays the work is still unfinished and no money has been paid. It is hoped that the firm may be able to complete their work at an early date.


It is quite desirable that our library should possess a set of "The Chronicles of America," published by the Yale University Press, but this valuable series of histor- ical works is too expensive to be included in our budgec. If any friend of the library should wish to make a substantial gift for our collection the trustees would rec- ommend this work and will furnish all necessary in- formation.
