Wildomar Library reports program growth, 192 new cards and expanded senior and teen offerings
Summary
Sandra, Wildomar Library manager, reported 45 service hours per week, 192 new library cards in the quarter, new senior fitness and teen 'Lunch at the Library' programming, and AARP free tax-prep walk-in service details.
Sandra, Wildomar Library manager, presented the library’s quarterly activities and program updates, reporting membership growth, steady computer and Wi‑Fi usage, and several new or returning programs.
Key figures and programs: the library operates about 45 service hours per week and added 192 new library cards in the quarter. Program attendance includes regular social/educational groups such as a knit-and-crochet session that typically draws about 12–18 participants. Sandra said the library’s Wi‑Fi remains free and staff provide in-person assistance for computer and reference needs that online resources can’t replace.
New and recurring offerings noted: a Fit Senior program led by a certified personal trainer for seniors; "Lunch at the Library," a twice-monthly teen food distribution scheduled to coincide with high-school dismissal (about 3:30 p.m.); and AARP free tax-preparation services. Sandra described the AARP tax program as walk-in only, free, open 10 a.m.–1 p.m. on Saturdays (with the parking lot locked before 9:30 a.m.), and limited to personal returns (no business returns). She said volunteer tax-prep slots are not available after 1 p.m. on service days.
Sandra also said the library has intentionally retained programming for older adults who use the facility for social connection and learning. Councilmembers thanked Sandra for returning to the manager role and for the library’s community work. No council action was taken on the report.
