Library staff reviewed recent system updates and upcoming programs at the Duvall and Carnation branches, telling the board the library's central sorter was launched over the summer and that system circulation for 2025 topped tens of millions of items. Denise, speaking for library staff, said the sorter "is the largest material sorter in North America" and that "it is supposed to sort about, I don't know, 8,000 items a minute."
Staff also described ongoing and upcoming programs: bilingual "I'll build you a bookcase" book walks through September, Art for Kids on Sept. 9, Pokemon Club at Carnation on Sept. 8, weekly Reading Buddies for K'5 students, and BrightFuse online tutoring available daily. Denise noted the library averages about 26 people per hour at the Duvall branch and encouraged the board to use flyers and the city distribution list to boost awareness.
