Great to see that 963 people have joined the online library since they closed their buildings on 17 March.
They have added 1,300 extra ebooks and 450 eAudio titles and are now issuing about four times the number of these. Around 32,000 newspapers and magazines are being downloaded each week too!
Last week there were 2,500 views of the Ancestry page, which is linked to the free public version, and we have had over 50 compliments about this service.
They have been offering telephone support for library customers who want to use the ebook and audio but have never tried before – got some lovely comments about that too.
An additional 25 library staff have now been trained to accept and receive calls in the Community Hub and library delivery drivers have delivered emergency food parcels across the county.
