STATISTICAL REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
The past year the circulation of books largely exceeded that of either of the two preceding years. The reading room also has been well patronized, especially by the young people.
The generous increased appropriation made by the town has made possible the addition of many desirable volumes of reference and non-fiction.
