He gave his name, address and telephone number in London, and in commun­ ication with his father it was learn­ ed that the lad had run away.

Ten meetings were held with an- average attendance of five. The Board adopted a new system regarding membership cards, all town readers receive a 5c, annual membership card this giving all the advantages of the Library to the town citizens at a very small fee. Also the change was made in library hours Friday afternoon being an ad­ ditional day open to readers with additional salary to the Librarian and Wednesday afternoons in the summer months also open to all. The Travelling Library was -used for the first six months of the year. The National Geographies for 1935 and first six months of 1936 were bound and are a valuable addition to the library shelves. 1 The Book -Committee have en<- deavored to add to the Library an interesting and instructive and edu­ cational selection of books. The ■compiled list of new volumes is as follows: Fiction 175 volumes value $211.95; non-fiction 47 volumes, value $90.16(2; J-uvenile 64 volumes value $70.41 making a total of 286 volumes and the value $372.98. The membership book gives a to­ tal of 8-67 readers and a circulation- of 21,256. In 1936 the -Librarian discarded 185 volumes and repaired 311. The Library lias 5747 volumes valued at $3231.48, The Magazine Committee have ■chosen a list of magazines for the next year adding a children’s maga­ zine, The Girl’s Own, and the Illus­ trated London News for six months and cancelled the Scientific Amer­ ican. The Property iCommittee have looked after all the necessary re­ pairs and the building .under the care of our efficient janitor, Mr. Heywood, always presents a neat appearance. With continued interest and ser­ vice from the members of the Lib­ rary Board and the excellent and willing service of our Librarian, Mrs. Gidley, we feel confident that the Library will continue to be a valu­ able asset to this community.
