FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 2014 DIRECTOR’S LETTER DAVID JOHNSON

It’s an interesting phenomenon when people refer to the 10 year old Blair Library as the “new” library. Perception is everything. Because of our commitment to maintain the building in “opening day” condition, the library does indeed look new. However, because use of the library has soared and because patrons are asking for more and different services, the “new” library has aged and is struggling to meet the community’s needs.

From opening day in October 2004 through the close of 2014, the growth in library use has been remarkable:

• Collection size has grown 56% to 290,827 items. • Circulation has grown 77% to 1,271,021 items. • Cardholders have grown 58% to 76,377 people. • Number of programs offered has risen 191% to 1,772 programs. • Program attendees have grown 82% to 72,225 attendees. • Computer sessions have grown 70% to 111,662 sessions.

Across nearly every performance measure, the numbers have shown impressive growth. I’m not sure if this level of community engagement was anticipated when library staff and trustees were planning the new library. What I do know is that Fayetteville is proud of its “crown jewel.”

However, with such unprecedented growth come some rather unintended consequences and the possibility of not meeting our community’s library needs in the future. Daily programming and special events challenge both our operational revenue and physical space. For example, our Walmart Storytime Room has been outgrown, and we now use the larger Walker Community Room for our weekly children’s programs. While we love having more than 100 parents and children regularly attend Baby Bookworms Storytime, the result is the room becomes less available to other sectors of the community. Special event programs that draw crowds of 400 and up require we close down the media/magazine area, move the shelving and material bays, and bring in seating. In 2014, we welcomed Newbery Award-winning author Christopher Paul Curtis, National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, and author, actor and literacy advocate LeVar Burton, drawing more than 1,400 booklovers. We want to continue offering these memorable events to our community while minimizing service disruptions to our patrons.

These are great challenges to have, but costly in terms of financial resources and stretching the capacity of the facility. Within ten years, the library has surpassed original goals set for the year 2020 in regard to circulation, visitors, and cardholders. We realize these accomplishments could not have been reached without the Blair Library.

Sometimes clichés are appropriate. In the case of the Fayetteville Public Library, the words of Kevin Costner’s character Ray Kinsella in the 2002 motion picture “Fields of Dreams” has proven to be true: “If you build it, he will come.” As the data prove, library leaders built a new library, and the community continues to come.

Sincerly,

David Johnson, Kim Agee, Executive Director President Board of Trustees
