Each year, the Library shares an annual report highlighting the activities of the previous year. 2020 began with library participation in Flashback February, International Women’s Day and more. A full schedule of activities was planned.
In March, all library programs were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The library was then closed by provincial order until July. While we were closed, 17,104 ebooks and audiobooks were borrowed, in addition to the 9,692 books sent by mail, and picked up through curbside pickup when that became possible. From January to December 2020, 179,543 items were checked out and 820 programs held with 13,069 attendees.
