3198304 · April 15, 2025

Summary

Library staff reported March circulation exceeded March 2024, volunteer hours remain strong, and the March financial report showed donations and expenditures for programming; revenue and expenditure pacing were within expected ranges.

Library staff reported that March 2025 circulation exceeded March 2024, setting a new record for the month, and noted an uptick in program attendance compared with the previous year despite a recent change in hours.

In the financial report staff summarized donation and expenditure items: a $106 donation item reflecting staff reimbursement for summer reading program T‑shirts; $924.19 listed for Crafternoon expenditures; and separate summer reading challenge expenditures (amount reported in the packet as approximately $905). Through the end of March, about 23% of the annual budget had been expended, close to the expected 25% pacing, and revenue collected through March totaled just under $9,000.

Why it matters: The circulation increase suggests recovery or growth in patron activity after earlier months of lower circulation; the financial pacing indicates the library remains on track with expenditures relative to the fiscal year.
