by Jon Walker
2015 was a striking year
at the Pueblo City-County
Library District. Our key
service results were just
about the best ever across the
board. We carefully monitor
four areas of service. These
are circulation (the number
of books and other materials
checked out), digital use (the number of times
customers log-on library computers and access
other library-hosted online and wireless services),
program attendance (the number of individuals
participating in any of the variety of cultural and
educational events regularly sponsored or hosted
by the library district), and visits (the number of
people who come into our libraries to read, study,
learn and exchange ideas). We strive to improve
these measures in order to ensure PCCLD is
meeting its mission to provide the best possible
library service for the community. I am very
pleased that the library district set new all-time
records in nearly every category in 2015:
• Circulation—2,918,125
This is a very healthy seventeen percent increase
over the previous record year in 2014.
• Digital Use—888,346
We are overjoyed that we exceeded our goal of
887,000 digital uses for the year. Digital services
continue to have a growing impact on the library.
• Program participation—245,500
This is a whopping 35 percent increase over 2014
and is another way today’s library is changing to
meet the needs of the modern world.
• Visits—1,616,639
This is an all-time record number of visitors
to our local libraries, and represents a fourteen
percent increase over 2014.
PCCLD enjoyed unprecedented success in
2015. We expect 2016 to be another great year,
too. Congratulations to our employees and the
community for an impressive year just completed.
I believe we are poised now for an even more
impressive 2016.
