Libraries:
E-visits made to the Library’s web resourcesin December came in at 352,112, 46%
higher than the previous December. Thesee-visits were logged to our website, our online
catalog, and our digital exhibit of historical images.
Circulation of e-books in December reached2,424from our e-collection of 4,289. This
figure was an increase of 14% over that from ayear ago. Those still-rising totals are
evidence that e-books are very much alive and thriving.
Our public access computers, combined with the wireless access for library users
provided 13,539 sessions to the public for the month, bringing another increase, 30%,
over usage from last year. PC usage remains strong due to requirements by government
agencies for benefit recipients, and to the many businesses that now require online job
applications.
326 new cardholders were added to our roster in December, as the winter seasonal
visitors are returning, along with others seeking to escape an already harsh winter.
December ended with the traditional visits from Santa Claus at branches across the
County—lines of Santa believers waited patiently (or not so patiently) to stare at him up
close, sit on his lap, or back away in fright and tears, but all received a kind word, and, in
some cases, a Christmas gift straight from his magic sack. Library staff in Key West took
part in the Holiday Parade, passing out calendarsto some of the estimated 5000 adults
there, and over 800 books to the children who were also present for the celebration. Staff
also provided a story time program for the annual North Pole festival, sponsored by the
School Board, with an audience of over 600 children. These events provided an enjoyable
close to the year, for our Library communities, adults and children, as well as for staff
who also enjoyed the festivities.
