Staff Report & Agenda Item Details
Shelley Tougas, Library Director, stated the first half of the year circulation is up from last year, but the library is the number two circulator of items in our library system. She has been busy writing many grants over the summer and came across that Hudson residents circulate 36% of all the material in the county.
