Through February 2025, the number of patrons entering our buildings somewhat increased system-wide compared to this same time year-to-date the previous year. Combined physical and digital use of library materials somewhat decreased year-to-date compared to 2024. About 7% of our registered cardholders checked out a physical item this past month, while about 5% of registered cardholders checked out a digital item.
