Reading Rocks: South Milwaukee Library Issues Annual Report

When I think of the first-class city services we provide in South Milwaukee, I put our library at the top of that list.

My wife and kids love it and are regular visitors. They’re not alone. The library attracted nearly 75,000 visitors in 2012 … and circulated more than 172,000 items last year. Those are just two of the stats in the library’s 2012 annual report. See it here. Some other numbers:

• 121,146: The size of the library’s book collection at the end of last year
• 62,707: The number of e-books in the collection
• 27,711: The number of questions answered by the reference desk in 2012
• 11,826: The number of residents with library cards

Thanks to Library Director Bob Pfeiffer and his hard-working team at the library!
