No Wonder Why We're Tired

Tired, yet happy!

We've updated the Library Facts and Statistics page with the past fiscal year's details. Library visits have gone up almost 7% over the past year.

Some more fun facts:

• Our borrowers (that's you with a library card!) increased 8.22%
• Library visits increased almost 7%
• Our circulation—books and other items checked out—increased 21.12%.
• Almost 24% of those items were Children's.
• Young Adult circulation increased by 43%.
• Self-check out increased by almost 55%
• 28% more holds were filled
• 499 Programs were just for Children, almost 10% more than last year
• 15,126 Children attended library programs, for a 12.17% increase
• Adult Program attendance increased by 60%
• Reference questions increased by almost 7% (Who says the Internet will replace librarians?)

Interestingly, use of our public PCs decreased by about 4%. Even though it seems as if our computers are always in use, we believe that the Wifi at every branch has freed up the PCs a bit. We're still waiting on those statistics.
