Forsyth County Library usage is rebounding post-pandemic
Library usage is on the rise again in Forsyth County, after the pandemic led to a 40% drop in borrowing. Data from Forsyth County Public Library shows patrons checked out books 985,727 times last year, nearly 186,000 more than in 2021. This year’s figure is still about 24% lower than 2019’s numbers. But public information officer Nicole Harterink says that doesn’t necessarily mean fewer people are using the library. “Our digital checkout system has been very robust,” she says. “We've had that for about 18 years, and it's continued to rise."
