Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Seventh Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1908-1909 The general ordinance as to department reports requires that they contain a statement of the acts and doings, and receipts and expenditures of the department for the financial year, to gether with such other matter as may be required by law, or as the Mayor or officer may deem to be of public interest. The special ordinance as to the Library Department also re quires the Board of Trustees to include in its annual report a statement of the condition of said Library, the number of books that have been added thereto during the year, the report of the committee appointed to examine said Library, and the total amount of money received from fines and sales. This report is intended to conform to these requirements, and though it is more full than the reports of the department have usually been, contains only that which the Trustees deem to be of public interest at the present time.
