Patron entrances at each Library are captured by automatic gate counters and logged by library staff.
The Library continued to see an increase in patron entrances as we bounce back from the pandemic. Last year's gate counts represent an increase in student usage as more classes began meeting on campus and students returned to campus for activities, computer access, and study sessions. Gate counts also represent students coming into the Library to access tutoring services.
