Monthly Stats Brief Narrative

Through March 2026, the number of patrons entering our buildings decreased system-wide compared to this same time year-to-date the previous year. Combined physical and digital use of library materials stayed about the same year-to-date compared to 2025. 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 usage has comprised about 27% of total materials use year-to-date through March 2026, and digital usage somewhat increased from this time in 2025.

In March 2026, BDL patrons saved $121,011.00 by checking out 10,222 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 $181,051.62.

Compared to this time year-to-date 2025, the number of programs BDL offered has greatly increased. Attendance at programs stayed about the same over this same period.
