Hi Jody.
I am the assistant director in the small north central Iowa town of Whittemore. As stated in a previous post, my community is about 600 population, but we serve a good size rural area of patrons. We no longer have any schools located in our town, so no school visits. We do have a summer reading program and this year we had about 50 children who actively participated. A large part of our patrons are older and each year we sadly lose some of our best readers. Declining circulation and what can we do to keep the tween/teen readers coming in and reading are always topics of discussion at my library.
Tell me more about your library.
Joy
