In 2024, over 59,000 cardholders checked out 2.1 million library items.
If they had purchased those items themselves, they would have spent more than $42 million.* With nearly 700,000 items in the library collection – including physical and digital copies of books, magazines, movies, games and more – it makes sense to have a library card.
