Director reports record circulation, high program turnout and satellite library growth

West Fargo Library Board · August 13, 2026

Summary

Library Director Jenna told the board the system saw record combined physical and digital circulation ("almost 30,000") in July, strong satellite-library foot traffic, 835 participants in the summer 'boost' program and robust youth and adult programming; staff will present an impact report on the summer program in September.

Director Jenna told the board July produced the library’s highest combined physical and digital circulation on record — “It was almost 30,000” — and that the satellite location had its highest foot traffic yet.

She highlighted summer programs including an all-ages July 4 event with nearly 200 attendees and the summer-boost program, which had 835 participants, both higher than last year. Jenna said staff plan to present a summer-boost impact report in September and will schedule a one-on-one review of the draft final budget with board members ahead of the city’s October budget deadline.

Jenna also described upcoming fall offerings (Saturday STEM, teen book club, Pokemon club) and noted adult/senior programs remain popular. Staff continue to refine MOUs with senior sites to improve delivery efficiency for outreach.
