Belfast Free Library
BELFAST, MAINE

March 1, 1920
To the trustees of the Belfast Free Lii
brary:
The thirty second annual report of the
Belfast Free Library is herewith submit
ted.
The Belfast Free Library in the past
year has demonstrated that it is an insti-
tuition with an important mission in the
life of the community. 1t has served the
educational interests by cooperating in
every possible way with the schools: in
the purchase of books for the special use
of teachers, by collecting mounted pic
lures for class room use, and by assisting
pupils in reference work in the library.
OF equal Importance with this school
work is the opportunity it offers for con-
tinuation of study by those who have
graduated from the High school, or f4om
some higher institution of learning, either
in individual research, or IN club work,
while those who have been denied educa-
tional advantages find books and assist
ance in the library.
The large circulation of fiction is proof
that many seek and find entertainment
here. The library is also the repository
of valuable records of local history, which,
| Willie DclteI dSSul6u Ul safety Iildu Ill
private ownership are accessible to all
interested in them. The reading room
furnishes pleasant social center for
young people where many boys and girls
spend the winter evenings.
REGISTRATIONS
The number of registrations since 1916,
the beginning of the present registration
period, is 2,745, of which 4l6 are new
names added during the past year. The
number withdrawn because of death or
change of residence was 100 IL cards
have been issued to non-residents for
three months at a charge of fifty cents,
and one annual subscription has been
paid.
CIRCULATION
1t is gratifying to report the largest
circulation of books in the history of the
library, this year exceeding 1910 by one
thousand volumes. The most conspicuous
gain has been in juvenile books, two
! thousand more books for, children having
been loaned than in 1919.

! GIFTS
A gift mnch appreciated by the chill
dren is a set of books entitled "The Book
OF knowledge" 20 vols, from Mr.. Ira
M. CODE. No acquisition in recent years
has had such a noticeable effect upon
reading room attendance in attracting
boys and girls to the library. 1t is
library in itself of history, biography,
science and standard literature, illus
trated by several thousand pictures.
Mr.. j. w. Dugan of New York pre-
sented twenty volumes of general litera-
ture, among which was copy of Little
Journeys to the Homes of Great Reform
err" by Ebert Hubbard, bound in full
leather, an example of the beautiful book
binding of the Roycroft Shop.
From the estate of Miss Caroline E.
White the library received valuable
gift, Vol. of The Republican Journal,
date 1928, and collection of stereo-
graphs and scope in a handsome carved
box.
Mr.. l. NJ Cottrell of Somerville, Mass,
has presented two record books of Wash
lngton Engine Co., No. 5, from 1865 to
1886 This is valuable addition to the
original documents of local history in
the library, and establishes precedent
tnat might well be followed by anyone
having in their possession record books,
diaries, or papers of general interest to
the community.
Mrs. George A. Quimby has added to
the file of valuable old newspapers in the
library by the gift of The Hancock Ga
zette, 1920, and the Maine Farmer and
Political Register, 1929, both published
at Belfast, and the Christian Intelligent
Ger, 1927, published at Gardiner.
The Joseph williamson Society which
published the second volume of the His
tory of Belfast written by Joseph Will
Hanson, through the secretary, Mrs.
James c. Durham, has given the remain
der of the edition to the library. The
volumes are to be sold at 5000 volume,
the proceeds to be added to the income
of the library. Three volumes have been
sold to date.
STORY HOUR
In January four travel talks were
given in the Grammar School to which
school children were invited. These
were conducted by the librarian assisted
by Mrs. George c. Bosom of Boston, and
illustrated by slides and postcards shown
by the balopticon, which was operated

by Mr.. z. D. HaItshorn. On .accoxe.. If
the small attendance, due to the extreme
cold and storms, it was decided to dis
continue these talks until later in the
season.
A study club of young women, High
School graduates, meet in the library who
plan to follow the Chautauqua Reading
Course with the help of the reference
books. 1t would be in line with pro-
cressiye library work if larger public
study or reading club should be organ
lied under the auspices of the library.

Although the galleries built last year
furnish additional shelf room, the need
for a children's room is greater than
ever. Many evenings this past winter
the reading room has been uncomfortably
crowded even with children reading at
the gallery table and in the alcoves.
The new reading Tampa placed on the
magazine tables have added much to the
attractiveness of the reading room.
LIBRARY MEETINGS
The librarian has attended two meet
ings of the Maine Library Association
during the year, at Brunswick and at
Portland, where, in meeting other IL
brarians, she gained inspiration and
knowledge that the Belfast Free Library
may continue to rank as one of the best
in the State 1t is fitting in this place
to express thanks to the trustees for gen.
erously voting to pay the expenses of
the librarian to these meetings, in &C
cordance with the custom in all the
larger libraries of the State.
STAFF
We are fortunate in having as acting
assistant librarian, Miss Marguerite
Owen, who presides so efficiently at the
delivery desk. In the apprentice class
are Katherine Brown, Agnes Hill and
Katherine Frost, who assist at the desk
and study various subjects. We regret
the loss from our substitute staff of Ruth |
Knight, now student at Wheaton Col
lege, who for three years has rendered
useful services in the library while
student in the High School.
In closing wish to express thanks to !
Mrs. Bosom and Mr. Hartshorn for as
sisting with the Story Hour, and to Mr..
Roderick, Superintendent of Schools, for
his CO. cooperation in arranging for our use
of the building. 1t is a pleasure to take
this opportunity of assuring the trustees
of my appreciation of their kindness to
me personally, and of their interest in the
both in the management of it's
business details and as an institution for
the benefit of the community

HOME LIBRARIES
Two Home Libraries for the accommo-
dation of people who live at distance
have been managed as for many years by
Mrs. E. O. Pendleton at East Belfast and
by Mrs. w. C. Nose at Little River. 557
books have been sent to these Home Lii
braries which report a total circulation of
1882, East Belfast having loaned LOIS
and Little River 317.
TRAVELLING LIBRARY
From September to March Travelling
Library from the Maine Library Commits
sion of twenty-five books on vocational
subjects was in the library. This afforded
an opportunity to those interested in the
special subjects represented to use these
expensive technical books, for which the
limited demand renders it inadvisable to
spend the money of the library The rec
ord of circulation of those books for home
use was Sc, while many were used in the
reading room.
ACCESSIONS
During the year 431 volumes have been
acquired by gift and purchase, bringing
the number of accessions since the found
ing of the library to 20,5O2. Since 1,478
have been withdrawn because worn out
or lost, the total number of volumes now
in the library is 1904.

WOULD ABOLISH DEATH
 SENTENCE UNDER EIGHT

The Connecticut Child Welfare Com mission will include as part of it's re- port the following proposed act:
 ''No child under eighteen years of age shall be sentenced to death, or to life imprisonment, or to imprisonment in the state pententiary. All laws. or parts of laws. inconsistent with this act are here by repealed"
 The commission. feels sure that this piece of legislation will receive the hear ty support of all thinking people in the state. It is thoroughly in accordance with modern developments of penal science and with the humanitarian ideas of the twentieth century. When state sentences a criminal to death or to life Imprisonment, it simply confesses it's own inability to reform the criminal. The ideal purpose of punishment is to fit the criminal to return to society as a law abiding and useful citizen. There is no reason for prolonging his punishment after this result has been accomplished. If the stat edecides in advance that he is to be put to death or imprisoned for life, it merely indicates the hopeless at titude of the state with reference to his reformation.
 True as this is of the adult, it is many times more true of the juvenile offender.
 
 periods of life. Social effort of the right sort is vastly more productive of results than later in life Not before the child reaches the age of twenty-one has he really received even approximately his final character. It is absolutely inde- fensible for a state to assume that a child of less than eighteen years is iu- capable of being improved into useful ness and Strength of character. Fur thermore The old ideas about the nec- essity of balancing wrong-doinG w'th suffering do not apply 10 children. for the child is not in any sense a com petely free. moral agent but is very largely the product of his environment. If society has not hitherto succeeded in developinr 2 law abiding character in a child. the thing to do is not to infict a harsh punishment upon him. but to try some other methods of developing his character in the right direction.
 Capital punishment. and life imprison- ment are therefore entirely inappronri- ate f7- r'-'' - ---- - ~1~I'+eer With florence to imprisonment in the peni- tentiary. all t' al 1e said is that the conditions of life r the penitentiary are such as to iniure rather than improve the character of a Juvenile offender.
