Numbers

Here are some numbers to take in:

Last month our circulation at the Hiawatha Public Library was 30,000 items. Last year during the same time period (even with the flood shutting us down for almost a week) our circulation was 22,000 items.

We have 10 people on staff here at the library. Last summer we generally had at least 2 if not 3 extra staff from Cedar Rapids working with us.

We had 11,918 people through our doors in the month of June. That's an average of almost 400 people per day!

So what exactly do these numbers all equate to???

Some very worn out staff!!
