- Description
- In submitting the 55th annual report of the Bangor Public Library I bring to your attention, first of all, that Bangor people are reading more and more works of fact. The per cent of adult nonfiction in the total circulation rose from 24 in 1936 to 26 in 1937. The per cent of adult fiction declined from 51 to 50. The per cent of juvenile circulation went down from 25 to 24...Seventeen public addresses and. 34 radio broadcasts in our series, "Books People Like," were made by the Librarian. Three addresses were made by the Children's Librarian. Single broadcasts in the radio series were made by Olive M. Smythe, Helen Washburn Yost, and Roberta E. Smith...The Library has many friends. Conspicuous among these are radio station WABI, which has made possible our weekly broadcast --the Bangor Daily Commercial, which has produced our book column, "At the Library Tonight" in most attractive form and published it three times a week--and the Bangor Daily News, which describes our bookish doings on its home page.
