A representative collection of works of music has been added to
the Lending Library during the year, and has been much appreciated.
The Borough Council in December, 1904, appointed Aldermen
Bulcraig, Dunkley and Kipling, and Councillors Colman, Kent and
Welch, as the Sub-Committee for the Clapham Library for 1905. At
their first meeting Councillor Clement Colman was elected chairman
for the year.
A cordial vote of thanks was passed to the retiring members of
Committee (Messrs. Hennings, Morgan and Rudolf), and especially to
the Rev. C. P. Greene for his seventeen years' services as Chairman of
the Clapham Library Commissioners and Committees from 1887 to
1904 inclusive.
Mr. A. Nash, Senior Assistant, having been appointed by the
Council to be Librarian-in-charge of the Allfarthing Lane Branch
Library, Mr. W. J. A. Brooker was promoted to be Senior Assistant,
and Mr. S. J. Rollins to be Second Assistant, and H. E. Ilott and
S. H. Aubrey were appointed as Junior Assistants. In consequence of
the extension of the Library the Caretaker, Mr. A. Wheatley, was
engaged full time instead of mornings and evenings only, as
previously.
The Committee have again much pleasure in expressing their
appreciation of the satisfactory manner in which the Librarian and his
staff have discharged their duties.
On behalf of the Committee,
CLEMENT COLMAN,
Chairman.
