urer and the remaining eleven az khrar-

her position as librarian Of the Aldrich
public library, to which position she was
appointed when the now building was

Iof Mrs. Boyce. and during all the time
she has given the same painstaking and
faithful effort to her work even as IL
increased in volume with the growth
of the city and the length Of che shelves.
But with the opening Of the Aidrich
library a year ago this fall there came
a still greater demand upon her strength
from nine IN the morning until late in
the evening, so that she felt that she
must relinquish the work. which she did
reluctantly and much to the regret OF the
several thousand patrons 81 the library,
To enable one to judge Of the amount
Of work required it should be stated
that the Aldrich library loaned more vol
umas last year than any public library
in Vermont, this work having been done
by Mrs. Boyce and one assistant.
But Mrs Boyce has realized her smbt

and treasurer of the new Barre Library
