Director: Library Visitors Increased Since Reopening

In a review of the impact on the Westport Library since the June 23 reopening, Bill Harmer, executive director, told the Westport Rotary Club today the number of visitors has increased by almost 50%. Harmer said the library averaged 1,100 visitors per day in 2018 and bolted to 1,600 recently. He added, “One of my gratifying observations — we’ve never seen so many teens using the library.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
