After each one that I've listened to, I find myself saying, 'Wow! That was excellent! I think it's the best one yet!', and then I listen to the next talk and say the same thing again. They are all very good and I'm really enjoying this series! Most of the books discussed are not books I would normally pick up, but after listening to the authors, I've added most, including Mr. Hawkins book, to my to-be-read file. Thanks again for tapping into this wonderful resource." ~Diane Page 499 of 706 Average digital library use has increased by 14% annually since its launch in FY14 Digital Library +7% +14% +17% 143,294 Digital Checkouts In FY24 *Remaining qtr estimated from FY average Page 500 of 706 Genealogy • Foreign Language • Newspapers • Investments • Repair Guides • Consumer Reports • Tutoring • Home Improvement • Historical Archives • Recipes • Health • Law Research And More +4% +9% -14% 194,322 Database Hits In FY24 *Remaining qtr estimated from FY average Page 501 of 706 4% Under Budget FY24 Budget Expenditures 71% 14% 15% Staffing Operations Materials Page 502 of 706 Carnegie-Stout Public Library FY2026 Requested Property Tax Support $4,468,447 $59.03 Net Property Tax Support Average homeowner’s* property tax cost for Carnegie- Stout Public Library (*Avg. home value of $196,508) $1,096,479 Library Gift Trusts’ Balance Page 503 of 706 Restricted Gift Trusts Lacy Book Trust $14,128 Lull Art Trust $5,134 Unrestricted Gift Trusts James Mutschler Trust $920,960 General Library Trust $163,103 Walton Trust $7,701 Maker Space Gift Trust $4,715 Page 504 of 706 Unrestricted General Gift Trust Beginning Balance: $163,103 Committed Project Funds: $ 101,536 Ending Balance: $ 61,567 ◦Library Study Pods Project $50,000 ◦State Funds (Newspaper/Magazine enhancement project) $13,593* ◦Informational databases $6,281 ◦Library Foundation Art @ Library Refreshments project $4,000 ◦Better World Books Changing Lives Program Funding $3,635 ◦Giving Tree $2,997 ◦Designated memorials $2,880 ◦Foundation children’s play wall $10,500 ◦Marketing $5,000 ◦Art @ your library $ 1,475 ◦Art appraisal/conservation $1,175 Page 505 of 706 Carnegie-Stout Public Library Focus on Public Safety •Designated Warming and Cooling Center during extreme weather events in Dubuque •Self-defense classes for the public designed for anyone experience mobility issues •Public Safety Storytimes o Community Oriented Police o K-9 officers o Fire Chief o Police Chief •Economic safety and support for entire community Page 506 of 706 Big Savings for DubuqueAvg Retail Price To Purchase Physical Book……………… DVD/Blu-ray………………...
