Introducing children in a fun way to love reading means they are more likely to use libraries in the future
F5F Programs have increased member ships within libraries. Patrons can see that libraries are not just for borrowing books but also everything else libraries have to offer like our digital apps and accounts. It brings in a better community feel and a 'this isnt what i expected' reaction.
It would also give the libraries the opportunities to promote other activities that they hold therefore increasing numbers in other areas.
Better reporting : helps us to better articulate to our council's what we do and why it's important; helps us justify further investment and also inclusion of more qualitative data into reports.
