Summer reading drives heavy participation; over 3,000 registered and 1.26 million minutes reported

Dan reported that the library's June–Aug. 16 summer reading challenge enrolled more than 3,000 people and that staff saw strong, cross-age engagement. He gave a program breakdown of 236 babies, 852 kids, 352 tweens, 192 teens and roughly 1,500 adults; he also reported "we read 1,260,000 throughout the entirety of the summer."

The director said the library used Beanstack software for program registration and that outreach was coordinated with the Unified School District and family liaisons. Trustees asked about a fall 'In-N-Out cover to cover' program (ages 4–12) and suggested expanding popular classes or offering repeat sessions to meet demand. Staff said they will meet with programming teams to consider larger enrollment or duplicate sessions.
