With your support, We did more

 

MORE Collections for you...

More than 43,000 items were added last year with  more popular titles, more diversity in children’s books, e-books, audiobooks, large print books. More movies, more books by African American authors and more titles in Spanish and Chinese.

 

MORE Summer Reading for continuous learning...

 

More than 3400 participants enrolled in Read for the Win! More storytimes for kids, more Maker Kids programs, more Teen STEM activities, and LESS summer learning loss because MORE kids are reading 20 minutes a day.

 

      

         

       

     

       

 

MORE Outreach all over Evanston...

Our Outreach Librarians and our Book Bike are visiting more parks this summer in connection with the Summer Food Services Program and City camps. Through these efforts, more people of all ages can check out books, get a library card, and receive information about Library programs.

 

     

       

 

MORE Access to Technology for everyone...

 

We’ve increased our classes in basic computer and internet use as well as instruction in using all your personal technology. In 2015, patrons logged MORE than 80,000 uses of Library computers and more than 155,000 uses of Wi-Fi.  Cardholders can now “borrow the internet” through a new Wi-Fi HotSpot pilot lending program. 

 

 

MORE than 2,866 programs were held in 2015 – everything from How to Fund Your Small Business to the Hirshfield Poetry Contest to book discussion groups and popular story times for children.

Here are some highlights from early 2016.
