How many people visit the library daily? With such short hours on Sunday, or not even open on Sundays for 3 months, the expansion needs do not seem critical.

That's a good question! Between 700 and 800 people on average visit the library each day. In the fiscal year ending June 2007, some 265,000 people visited the library.
We know that people would like longer hours. It also costs more to keep the library open longer. Included in the referendum amount will be the amount not only to build an addition but to increase hours and add services and materials.
