Having been in libraries all my life, including early childhood in Delmar, it might be easy to take them and their services for granted. We do not do so. On a recent visit, Jean at the front desk saw and heard my frustration with repeat sales calls, e.g., Medicare, home improvement, et al. She in a few moments taught me how to block them. While there, we looked at the New Lebanon Library 2024 Year in Review and were impressed. Among highlights:
• 22,939 items checked out by 9,155 library visitors, a 12% increase over 2023 with 125 new cardholders.
• 670 new books were added to the collection and community members saved $398,479 by borrowing items, downloading e-books, using free museum passes, using computer and WI-FI, and attending programs.
• 292 events attended by 2,521 patrons, a 25% increase over 2023.
• Expert reference help by staff, including computer training.
We suggest getting on the library’s e-newsletter for updates and calendar events, including recent movies, and sign on at www.newlebanonlibrary.org.
