Library reports record Hoopla month; budget remains on track
Summary
Director reported Hoopla reached 800 circulations last month and the system spent $2,000 on Hoopla and $2,000 on Libby; summer reading events drew strong attendance and grant funds will help cover planned technology upgrades.
Library staff reported usage and budget details at the June meeting. The director said Hoopla had a record month with 800 circulations. Last month the library spent $2,000 on Hoopla and $2,000 on Libby; the director noted some Libby titles are "metered access," which can require repurchasing after licensing periods end.
Summer reading events drew robust attendance: about 140 people attended the Roosevelt event and more than 100 attended the Duchesne branch event, the director said. Board members thanked staff for programming and singled out employees who helped run the events.
On the budget, the director said the library has made its major principal and interest payment for the year and that grant money will cover most technology replacements; staff computers require updates for security compatibility. Trustees said these developments mean the operating budget is currently on track.
What happens next: staff will continue to monitor vendor spending and report statistics in future consent-agenda materials.
