We blinked and just like that our new Moreno Valley Mall Brach Library celebrated its 1-year anniversary. Since it opened its doors on December 21, 2017, the Mall Branch Library has been revolutionizing how libraries serve the community. The library offers everything from drum classes and STEM activities to Family Night and assistance for veterans and their families. Internet hot spots are also available for residents to check out, providing internet access to students and job seekers who otherwise do not have access to the Internet. If you're more of the traditional library patron, don't worry. You can still check out books, too. To celebrate the Mall Branch Library’s first anniversary, we compiled a few interesting stats about our newest library location. Over the last year: 7,500 computer sessions were held 21,254 items were checked out Adults average 17 items per transaction Teens average 9 items per transaction Children average 15 items per transaction 12 people a day signed up for a Library card – that’s roughly 365 new library cards a month An impressive 320 "library regulars" check out at least one item each month 1,780 patrons attended a library program Stop by the Mall Branch Library or our Main Library today and check out all of the wonderful things that are happening at our libraries.
