Statistics Update

Manisha Koosuru, Data Analyst in Strategic Planning, is currently working on our Statistics page on the Intranet. Charts are currently being added and fine tuned; a completed page should be ready to roll out next week!

In the meantime, Beanstack has an extensive system of reports that staff can run to see past and current Summer Reading statistics at the local level. This year EPS set up a course in EduBrite regarding how to use these reports that's accessible to Library Managers, Engagement Managers, and Access Managers.

As of this morning, we are up to 8579 participants, with over half of those participants logging their reading. We are 21% of the way towards meeting our community goal of 8 million points, with participants logging 1,717,353 points thus far in our Summer Reading challenge! 

Staff and customers can refer to our new goal tracker when logged in to Beanstack to see our progress in real time towards our community goal of 8 million points!
