Library staff report: October surge in circulation; website to migrate for ADA compliance
Summary
Library staff said October produced one of the library’s busiest months, noted a large rise in children's audio circulation after new card-format audiobooks were introduced, and said the state will transition the site to a simpler ADA-compliant platform while staff develop a contemporary replacement.
Steve, a library staff member, told trustees that October was “one of the busiest months ever” for the Eagle Public Library and credited events such as Harvest Fest and Night of 1,000 Pumpkins for driving attendance. He also flagged a state-driven change for the library website: because of evolving ADA requirements the state will migrate library sites to a simpler, state-provided version for a transitional period while local staff develop a new, more contemporary site.
On circulation, Steve described a new small, credit-card–sized audio format the transcript refers to as “YOTO” or alternatively “Yodle” cards; he said the items dramatically increased children’s audio checkouts, reporting about 2,800 kid audio checkouts last month compared with prior monthly averages near 150 and projecting the library could exceed 30,000 children’s audio checkouts for the year.
