New director and Friends report show strong FY25 circulation, Friends' book sale raised about $3,100
Summary
Director Brenda presented FY25 circulation data showing a near even split between adult and children's circulation and about 71% of patrons from South Burlington; Friends reported a successful book sale that raised about $3,100.
The library director presented FY25 circulation charts showing a roughly even split between adult and children's circulation and noted that about 71% of circulation is from South Burlington residents. "So about 71% of our library usage is from people in South Burlington," the director said, and staff highlighted the need to add digital (Libby) figures to future reports.
Separately, the Friends of the Library reported a successful September book sale: "Our goal was $1,800, and we made $3,100," Mary (Friends representative) said, and the Friends expect to contribute proceeds to library programming. Board members discussed outreach to nearby corridors and groups (including Homecard changes that brought Burlington patrons into the system) and potential data‑driven outreach such as focusing on the Shelburne Road corridor.
