Cresco library reports growth in programs as council formalizes trustee board

Library Director Jordan Moore presented the library’s annual report to the council on April 6, highlighting staff certifications, building repairs, and program growth. Moore said the library saw a shift toward digital formats — “the biggest thing is our eaudiobooks,” which the director said were up 18% — and an overall increase in programming, driven largely by teen and young-adult offerings. Moore described specific initiatives coming this summer, including a StoryWalk and a proposed seed library, and noted partnerships with local organizations for summer and outreach programming.
