"We added 68 new cardholders in April," the director said, adding that the current cardholder total is roughly 1,369. The director said physical and electronic circulation remain steady and highlighted popular offerings for children such as rhythm-and-rhyme sessions. The report noted 39 programs in April with 286 participants, and special passive programs including a library scavenger hunt (54 participants) and a seed-packet pickup with the Virginia Master Naturalists (75 packets claimed).
The director outlined the summer reading program: kickoff events at both branches on Saturday, June 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (activities, partner organizations and sign-ups), online participation via Beanstack, and a season-end celebration on Saturday, Aug. 8. The theme this year is "Honor the Story," which will include programming around paleontology, archaeology, genealogy and discovery.
