Monthly Stats Brief Narrative
Through August 2023, the number of patrons entering our buildings increased system-wide compared to this same time year-to-date the previous year. Combined physical and digital use of library materials slightly increased year-to-date compared to 2022. About 12% of our registered cardholders checked out a physical item this past month, while about 4% of registered cardholders checked out a digital item.
Digital usage has comprised about 22% of total materials use year-to-date through August 2023, and digital usage somewhat increased from this time in 2022.
In August 2023, BDL patrons saved $117,942.00 by checking out 10,375 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 $169,168.01.
Compared to this time year-to-date 2022, the number of programs BDL offered has greatly increased. Attendance at programs increased over this same period.
