Experimental regional library plan boosts book circulation
The Montpelier Regional Library's demonstration serves 50 public and 40 school libraries in central Vermont. Bookfetch expands access with 1650 titles and 18,000 households, hours are extended, and a New Hampshire cataloging contract aims to cut processing staff. The plan doubles local collections pickup, raises total circulation by about 240 percent, and lowers per-book costs to 52 cents from 1.23, despite some opposition to suspending the bookmobile.
