At its Oct. 9, 2025 meeting, the Surprise Library Advisory Commission heard a staff presentation on the new public-facing Surprise Public Library data dashboard and reviewed a range of service metrics and initiatives. Staff described 33 monthly performance measures—visitor counts, cardholders, programs, collection use, volunteer hours and more—and said the dashboard will be used to inform budgeting and staffing requests. Staff reported key outcomes including roughly 43,000 active cardholders, strong growth at Hollyhock Library, and an estimated $11.3 million in annual patron savings tied to physical circulation; commissioners discussed operational details and upcoming events.
