A commissioner reported a substantial increase in participation in the library's summer-reading program this year, citing registration and total-hours figures.
"And last year, in 2025, they registered 96 kids for the summer reading program. This year in 2026, they had 257," Commissioner Perry said, adding that total recorded reading hours rose from 448 in 2025 to 767.5 in 2026. The commissioner praised library staff for doing "a pretty amazing job" engaging children.
Commissioners responded with brief applause and approval as the figures were read aloud. The report was presented as an informational item rather than a voteable agenda item; no funding decisions or policy changes were proposed during the special session.
