Thank you for being a part of our story!
2025 had its trying moments, but with many thanks to you, the Library continued to grow. Preliminary statistics are starting to come in, including
- 7% more borrowed items
- 13% more visits
- 21% more programs

You powered this growth by borrowing items and attending our programs – and also by making donations. We raised over $81,000 in our annual campaign. That’s more than a third of our operating budget. Thank you!
