Measurable Outcome(s)

Due to a total library renovation from April - July, 2017, resulting in our library being closed for more than 8 weeks, data is not available to measure positive outcomes. However, since the library has reopened, use of microfilm readers has jumped dramatically from prior to the remodel. Patrons choose the digital microfilm reader 2:1 over the traditional microfilm reader.
