Friends of Fitchburg Library fund ‘discovery’ tables for library children's area. (Fitchburg Star, 5/9/2019)
Before the purchase of three “discovery” tables for the Fitchburg Public Library children’s area, it wasn’t quite as accommodating a place for youngsters to play.
The Friends of the Fitchburg Library paid $13,000 for the tables, transforming an area that formerly had bean bags, puzzles and puppets into a space that enhances early childhood literacy, Tim Powers, Youth Services manager told the Star.Low attendance at teen events. (Fitchburg Star, 4/15/2019)
Teen library programs like this one continually struggle with low attendance. According to data from the library’s 2018 annual report, a total of 65 teens showed up for the year’s 24 teen activities.
In contrast, youth services, which covers children ages 12 and under, held 347 events for 15,547 attendees and a 45 participant average. The library’s 84 adult activities also drew 719 people, with a successful average of nine participants per event.
