Library director reports wider circulation, doubled program attendance and $1,700 from Scholastic fair
Summary
The library director said circulation and e-resources rose, program attendance and outreach nearly doubled from last year, and a Scholastic book fair will return about $1,700 to the library; the director also cited a Renaissance Fair that drew roughly 2,500 attendees.
The library director told the board that circulation and the use of e-resources are up overall and that "our program attendance almost double what it was last year." She said outreach numbers and new memberships are also up, noting staff efforts to promote enhanced library cards increased those from one to three or four at the time of reporting.
The director described recent events: the library’s first Renaissance Fair drew about 2,500 attendees, a veterans resume clinic provided one-on-one help, and volunteers from People and Culture (human resources) assisted. The Scholastic book fair partnership is expected to return approximately $1,700 to the library.
The director credited staff and volunteers for the results and said program performance is monitored over one to two years before decisions are made about cuts or restorations.
