Lovington library reports summer-reading registrations more than doubled
Summary
Library staff reported registrations for the summer reading program rose from 96 children in 2025 to 257 in 2026, and reading hours increased from 448 to 767.5 hours, a near doubling noted at the Lovington City Commission special session.
The Lovington City Commission heard that local library participation in its summer reading program increased substantially this year.
Mister Ovard shared participation figures, saying the library registered 96 children for the summer reading program in 2025 and 257 in 2026. He reported reading hours rose from 448 last year to 767.5 this year. "It's a pretty amazing job for the staff that they've got over there," Ovard said.
Commissioners responded with praise during the brief special session. No budget adjustments or formal action related to the library program were proposed on the record.
The remarks were presented as an informational update during a short special session; commissioners did not discuss next steps on the transcript.
