September 2009 because the Library offered limited program options due
to anticipated construction.

30, 2010, and noted that Library usage had increased slightly over last

checked out 244,458 items, 1,067 Colleyville residents had registered for
Library cards, patron visits totaled 111,410, and attendance for programs
totaled 17,719. Rodne concluded that Library staff anticipated Fiscal Year
2010-2011 Library usage statistics would be down because of
