making a comeback with a 17% increase in foot traffic. Library patrons
checked out 6.5% more physical books and media and 13% more
downloadable electronic items than the previous fiscal year. We issued
19% more library cards and hosted 19% more programs, with 29% more
people attending those programs. We expect this year’s statistics to
continue the upward trend. Be sure to download our new mobile app to
access your account, our list of events, and downloadable resources , all
free of charge!
We spent a significant amount of time working on the library renovation
project this year. Community outreach events and online surveys
provided tremendous input on what our community wants and needs
from their public library. Roughly 1,800 participants provided input on
important features for the library, as well as interior and exterior design
palettes. Our next steps are to take the designs and convert them to
construction documents, put the project out to bid for a contractor, and
get busy! We look forward to locating a temporary location to continue
our quality service to our patrons, both long-time library users and new
card holders. Visit EngagePalmSprings.com to get updates about the
library renovation project and to see renderings of what the renovated
library could look like. Thank you for your support!

checked out for two weeks; the passes offer free vehicle
day-use entry to over 200 participating California State
Parks. Research shows that spending time in the outdoors is
associated with better mental and physical health, and that
many Californians face barriers to accessing their parks.
“California has a wealth of state parks, and many public
libraries are likely within driving distance of one. By reducing
barriers to park access and partnering with entities such as
public libraries, the state can help more Californians
This year we continued with
Beanstack, our online registration
tool, as well as with weekly in-person
programs and weekly FREE books.
This year’s theme was ‘Read. Renew
Repeat.’ so several of our programs
were focused on sustainability and
being good stewards of our
resources. Once again we tracked
books for the Pre-K group and hours
read for Kids, Teens and Adults.
Participants earned badges and a
chance to win grand prizes
generously provided by the Friends
of the Library and many local
businesses and organizations. This
year the Sustainability Commission
provided funds to buy 8 bicycles and
an electric scooter, all also included a
helmet and bike lock. This year
participants could enter their ticket
in bins for the grand prize they
wanted to try and win. At the finale
grand prize winners were drawn live
and half of the winners were present!
We all celebrated the end to summer
reading with cookies from Aspen
Mills along with other giveaways.
