CLEVELAND, Tenn.-After a complete remodeling and the addition of 20,000 square feet a year ago, use of the Cleveland/Bradley County Public Library continues to increase.
Circulation from July to December 2010 jumped 13.8 percent over the same period a year earlier, according to library numbers.
Use of the new community room and electronic books continues to grow, too, library personnel said.
As the city and county governments prepare for a new budget-writing season, the library board is making its requests known to both.
Library board Chairman Steve Robinson said Friday that he and Library Director Andrew Hunt “promised to come back to them after we had been reopened for about a year and talk to them about where we need to go.”
