After 4 days with the doors closed over Thanksgiving weekend, Library staff were greeted Monday morning by a wondrous sight. Nearly 4,000 books, movies, magazines, and audio materials were returned over the weekend, filling a large portion of the front lobby. How unusual is this? Well, on a normal Monday, library staff check in around 1,000 items.

Adding to the busy circulation day, the Library received over 1,600 visitors in 8 hours Monday, more than 150% of normal! It was a full day for staff, and a day full of energy throughout the building.
