Library Use Up - - in Perham, MN

Warms my heart to read this news:

At the Perham Public Library, 41,414 adult and children’s books were checked out in 2004 – 2,576 more than the previous year. Use of the library’s computers was actually down from 2004, with 7,820 user occasions compared to 8,733 last year.

The kids and I really enjoy the Perham library during our summer visits to West McDonald. Nice to hear we're not the only ones.

Total visits to the library were approximately 50,336 in 2004 – compared to 45,292 in 2003. Visits are calculated by taking counts on a number of days over the course of the year, and multiplying the numbers out, rather than strict daily counts.
