Monthly Stats Brief Narrative

Through March 2024, 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 somewhat increased year-to-date compared to 2023. 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 23% of total materials use year-to-date through March 2024, and digital usage increased from this time in 2023.

In March 2024, BDL patrons saved $129,734.20 by checking out 11,338 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 $191,218.14.

Compared to this time year-to-date 2023, the number of programs BDL offered has greatly increased. Attendance at programs greatly increased over this same period.
