Attendance was high in every category. The overall decrease was due to removing the bi-weekly teen D&D group.
Only in 2018 and 2019 have we ever had more SRP participants.
Hinckley is a net lender (loaning more interlibrary loans than we borrow), showing the strength of our collection.
Circulation showed a 15% increase, a rare bump in a normally downward trend.
Several magazines no longer publish in print.
Public computer usage jumped from 1,313 in FY21. That’s a 253% increase in two years!
