This month, the library celebrates five years in its current location on Central Ave. Come celebrate with us at a birthday party on Saturday, October 26, from 10:00AM until 3:00PM. There will be food and party favors while supplies last and a performance by juggling sensation Flying Debris at 1:30PM. Party guests can also enter a drawing for one of four $25 Barnes and Noble gift cards.
We've been busy these past five years:
Since October of 2008, we've added 10,500 patrons, for a total of more than 17,000.
We started with 14,000 items (including books, audiobooks, and movies), but now we have 52,000.
We've had 1,366 library sponsored programs with 34,600 attendees.
Our 17,000 patrons have had 967,000 check outs, placed 26,000 holds, and logged in to the library catalog 159,000 times.
We at the Andover Library would like to thank the Andover community and all of our patrons for making our library such a wonderful place. Here's hoping the next five (or ten or fifty) years are just as wonderful as the first five!
