Sometime toward the end of the library’s fiscal year … by which I mean the third or fourth week of this June … our total circulation will probably cross the 1,000,000 per year mark for the first time.
As way of comparison, this is more than either the Peoria or Springfield libraries … and our library district has a much smaller population.
Our thanks must go to you, the reader or viewer or listener who borrows items from our – your! – library (and I should note that the use of electronic resources does not count). This is an active community, a learning community, and a community comprised of individuals who are curious about their world.
Your enthusiasm makes working here a pleasure.
Bob Watson
Director
