The following report of Mrs. Agnes
E. Blanchard. librarian of the South
Norwalk Public Library and Reading
Room. was submitted to the Board of
Directors at the meeting held last
week:
South Norwalk Cogn.
. June 8. 1921.
To'the President and Directors of
the Souh Norwalk Public Library and
Reading Room:
Gentlemen:
The thirty-first annual report of the
South Norwalk. Public Library nn’d
Reading Room. ending May 31st, 1921.
is herewith submitted.
The work of the library year has
been satisfactory. To the librarian
with high ideals. flaws are apt to place
perfections in a false perspect‘i'v'e': but
when a carefull adjustment is made
each assumes its correct place in the
‘scheme of work. '
The exorbitant price of book's'has
made it Impossible to buy largely of
the more expensive class. as has been
the custom of the directors hereto-
fore; but those that have been pur-
chased will be valuable for all time.
Of this number are volume nine of
the Oxford Dictionary. Webster's New
International Dictionary. Harper's
Pictorial library of the World War ill
twelve Volumes. “far of the Nations
Port folio. Jewish Code of Jurispru-
dence. two Volumes. Agnes Strick-
Inn's Queens of England in sixteen vol-
umes.
: 'l‘lu- fiction that has been purchased
is of the best: that is. the selections
.arc the best that publishers offer.
l Many gifts have helped greatly and
their circulation shoWs that they have
been appreciated by the public.
The lack of books as compared with
demand. has been kept from becom-
ing too obvious by duplicating some of
the old favorites and mending and
‘- clcllnlng books that ought to be at‘thc
' m . . . 'blnders. ’

The lit-aiding ltoom is well equipped
for its purpose. It congins besides

This year the Price and Lee Com-

The stranger expresses surprise at its
completeness. and judging by the
number of our own
use of it. the habit of “going to the
library to find out" is increasing. A

The Auditorium has been the meet-

of many gifts. Mr. North's valuable

Mr. O‘Hara as janitor is efficient

‘I-‘AVORS STANDARD TIME.
Editor The'Bcntlnel. .
Dear Sir: -
Through the columns of your valua-
ble paper kindly permit me to suggest
that it would be in the line of WO-
‘gresslxclless if a proclamation was is-
sued from the City Hall requesting all
the people of the city to advance their
time piecéb five hours. from June 15th
to June 26th. so as to permit all of us
simple-minded folks to imagine we are
living in the Land 61' Midnight Sun.
If it is lawful and legal to push the
hands of the clock ahead one hour.
there should' be no objection to five
hours. providing we are all assinlne.
gullible. and credulous enough to be-
lieve anything that emanates from the
City Hall.
Another suggestion that comes to
my mind. is that all who believe in the
Constitution. and in obeying the laws
of the State. refrain from patronizing
only those merchants who adhere to
Standard or legal time of the land of
steady habits.
Very respectfully.
GILBERT MARVIN.
