What: the library director's review of fiscal year 2026, the first full year in temporary space, drawn from the state annual statistics report.
Where it stands: visits about 113,000 (up 7.6 percent, with older door counters possibly undercounting), programs up almost 30 percent, program attendance about 18,300 (up 10 percent), adult print circulation up about 12 percent, teen print up 24 percent, children's print down about 10 percent but still the largest group, wireless sessions up 5 percent, and public service hours up 5.5 percent with year-round Saturday hours. Trustees cautioned that results may reflect the new location and should be read over several years. The financial half of the state report is due in October.
