Ventress Library is Thriving!
We looked back in time to 2014 to see how we are doing today and we were very surprised and pleased to discover that Ventress Library use is way up in every way!!
We found that attendance at all our programs has increased dramatically. Most remarkably, young adult attendance is up by 854% in FY 2019, while children's attendance is up by 207% and adult attendance is up by 37%. Moreover, more people are using our meeting rooms (up by 377% in FY 2019) and visiting the library for personal assistance with resumes, email, job applications, and printing. Our downloadables (e-book, e-audio and video) usage is up by 262% and database usage is up by 102%!
We will let the numbers speak for themselves. Keep on loving your library and check out our July Event Calendar -
