39 <br />Report of the Library Trustees <br />To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br />and the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee <br />We are greatly pleased to report that we are well on our <br />way to having, once again, a library in our township. <br />We realize that it is one of the most important factors <br />in a town. The library is a perfect example of democracy <br />and of the American ideal of equal opportunity for all. A <br />librarian once wrote, "The library is the last stronghold of <br />Democracry and it is the one institution that serves the <br />individual." <br />We wish to thank all who have donated books. Individ- <br />uals from surrounding towns have donated books as well as <br />our good people from in town. We, too, are greatly thankful <br />to the Sandwich and Cotuit Libraries for sharing their extra <br />copies with us. <br />We wish to close this brief report with this thought to <br />keep in mind: if there are any who wish to share their books <br />or donate books to the library they may do so by contacting <br />the Samuel G. Davis School for storage, or they may desire <br />to place something as a memoriam in our future library; <br />they may do so by contacting a member of the library trus- <br />tees. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />ALICE J. HICKS <br />AUREE AVANT <br />SELENA COOMBS, Chairman, <br />Library Trustees <br />
