Library Services and Statistics
Summary
The library circulated over 63,000 items last year and saved patrons nearly $696,000, but losing its fifth open day cut weekly visits from about 1,000 to 800. Summer reading participation dipped to 887 and the school district after-school partnership may start in November.
