Library reports mixed usage in June; utilities timing pushed expenses into June

Library Board · July 22, 2026

Summary

The director said year-to-date visits were down about 8% while program attendance was up 17% and circulation showed gains; June financials were affected by utilities from April and May being charged in June, producing a one-time expenditure spike and leaving revenue around $19,000 through June.

The director presented usage and financial reports for June, telling the board visits were down roughly 8% year to date while program attendance was up about 17% from last year. He also said volunteer hours dipped slightly, internet sign-ups decreased by about 13%, electronic activity rose roughly 19% and circulation was higher compared with last June (the director described circulation as "a little over just under 12,000 over last June").

On financials, the director said utilities for April and May were not charged until June, which created a large expenditure that month; that timing produced a higher percentage expended year to date (about 46% expended with 42% of the year lapsed). He reported revenue just over $19,000 through the end of June and said he would bring additional restricted vs. unrestricted detail next month.
