Hello everyone. Just checking in with my library's latest usage statistics. These are from the 3rd Six Weeks of school, November 3 - December 18, 2025.
This time around I am most impressed with the number of student visits. I think that I have talked about this before, but it bears repeating. Summit is one of the smaller high schools in our district, and our student enrollment is a bit over 1800 students. So the fact that we clocked in 6,482 visitors during this 6 weeks is exciting. This number obviously means we have a lot of repeat visitors. These visitors are actual students coming into the library by themselves either during class, before/after school, or during lunch. We do not count whole classes in this stat. Class visits have a whole separate category. So the number of student visitors let's us know we must be doing something right.
I received this note from a student today. She came in the library this morning just to deliver it to me. It made my day, but also made me laugh since I come to work "almost" every day with a smile on my face. Truer words have never been spoken. I'm not sure anyone could come to school every day with a smile on their face, but I do most days because I really love what I do. So I guess I must be doing something right.
