Monthly Stats Brief Narrative

Through August 2025, the number of patrons entering our buildings slightly increased system-wide compared to this same time year-to-date the previous year. Combined physical and digital use of library materials decreased year-to-date compared to 2024. About 8% of our registered cardholders checked out a physical item this past month, while about 5% of registered cardholders checked out a digital item.

 

Digital vs. Total Circs

Digital usage has comprised about 22% of total materials use year-to-date through August 2025, and digital usage decreased from this time in 2024.

In August 2025, BDL patrons saved $112,765.70 by checking out 9,373 physical items from the library. Our programming for all ages and our digital services further increase the library's value to the community, bringing the total estimated value to $176,825.93.
