Library Weekly Report
Week of December 17-23, 2023
This week we circulated 1,685 items, received 538 items in transit, and sent 628 items. We requested 365 items and fulfilled 357 hold requests; registered 12 patrons for library cards; and added 54 new items. The most popular book this week is Miss Dimple Suspects: A Mystery by Mignon Franklin Ballard.
The library will be closed on Saturday, December 23 and Monday, December 25 and will reopen on Tuesday, December 26 with regular hours.
The Children’s Room and Community Room remain closed, and the Friends of the Grafton Public Library book sale remains on hold awaiting reconstruction. Book bundles and gifts are available for purchase at the library.
Children’s Room staff planned for how the Community Rooms could be used for a temporary Children’s Room. Reference staff hosted several book discussion groups, including: the “Reads Well with Others” Book Group discussion of “Elevation” by Stephen King; the Daytimers Book Group discussion of “The Winter People” by Jennifer McMahon; and the GPL Mystery Book Group discussion of “The Bone Orchard” by Paul Doiron.
