Monthly Stats Brief Narrative

Through April 2026, the number of patrons entering our buildings somewhat decreased 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 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 vs. Total Circs

Digital usage has comprised about 26% of total materials use year-to-date through April 2026, and digital usage somewhat increased from this time in 2025.

In April 2026, BDL patrons saved $12,996.10 by checking out 10,495 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 $69,908.87.
