ANNUAL REPORT 2016
A Message from the CEO Thanks to you, 2016 was another successful year at BCFL!
In October, we proudly celebrated our 60th anniversary. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to provide the Bucks County community with safe and welcoming places for you to gather, explore new interests and connect with one another. As we look forward to the next 60 years (and beyond), we are committed to providing you with excellent, innovative services and resources to enrich your lives. Today, in addition to traditional services like book lending, Bucks County Free Library offers an extensive catalog of materials and resources, both online and at our seven branches. Whether you seek technical support for your electronic devices, a new passport or the most recent season of Game of Thrones, Bucks County Free Library is your go-to destination. Over the past year, we continued to update and improve our branches, including large-scale renovations at the Quakertown and Langhorne branches. In July, we opened Penn’s Little Village (p.3) a new interactive play space for young children to great fanfare. Our 2016 Summer Reading Challenge (p.4) broke records and participants logged more than 3 million minutes of reading – the most ever! We also rolled out our new Help Desk program (p.4) and the response has been overwhelming. From our Legends at the Library storytelling series to our weekly chair yoga program to our Retirement & Estate Planning Forum, there were so many opportunities to learn at the library in 2016. We are hard at work making 2017 another great year. Our 2017 Summer Reading Challenge launches in June and, like last year, we invite participants of all ages to help us accomplish our reading goal. We have plans to improve our branches, both inside and outside. And, we have launched our One Button Studio at the Yardley-Makefield Branch, which allows you to produce and record video quickly and easily. We could not do what we do without your support. Your investment in BCFL makes an immediate, direct impact on our community. At BCFL, we believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit and that innovation is the key to success. Stop by your local branch or visit our website at www.buckslib.org to learn more about our services and programs. There’s always something new to try at BCFL!

Penn’s Little Village
In July 2016, the Langhorne Branch of the Bucks County Free Library proudly reopened its doors to reveal a newly-renovated facility, as well as a brand new, unique and interactive play space called Penn’s Little Village. Penn’s Little Village is an innovative learning space designed for young children from six months to six years. Through seven interactive stations, including Penny’s Market and The Friendly School, Penn’s Little Village provides children with the opportunity to explore, role-play and problem solve. Penn’s Little Village encourages children to build early literacy and math skills, develop fine motor skills, enhance social skills, learn about their community and have fun alongside parents, caregivers and other children. Since the branch reopened, the positive community response has been overwhelming. Attendance in 2016 increased by 135% at the Langhorne Branch! Many were involved in envisioning and planning this $1.13M project, and it was completed with generous financial support from three key sources: operational and capital funds from Bucks County, made possible by taxpayers; Keystone Grant funds for the improvement of public libraries; and private donations.
2016 Summer Reading Challenge The Summer Reading Challenge enjoyed another record-breaking year! In 2016, we invited the entire community to join the Challenge, and we expanded the definition of reading to be more inclusive so that people of any age could participate. We doubled our previous goal, and we still exceeded expectations! We are proud to report that approximately 50,000 participants logged a total of 3,009,495 minutes during the eight-week 2016 Summer Reading Challenge! Of that, children accounted for 1,815,058 minutes. In addition to celebrating reading, Bucks County Free Library offered dozens of programs each week aimed at engaging families with the library. From science demonstrations to musical performances to a birthday party for Harry Potter, children of all ages enjoyed visiting their local branches to learn and have fun. More than 35,500 children attended summer programs at Bucks County Free Library! The 2016 Summer Reading Challenge was funded with support from Fred Beans Automotive through Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) dollars.
Help Desk In January 2016, Bucks County Free Library rolled out a new technical, exciting and free initiative: Help Desk. Every day, our skilled technicians make stops at branches throughout the county to provide tech support to Bucks County residents. Whether your equipment is new or out-of-warranty, we can provide support, education and/or repair services to help you get the most out of your device. From installing a new operating system to removing malware, from download training to pairing your device to Bluetooth, from setting up email to repairing broken hardware, we can help you – for free! In its first year, our technicians hosted more than 8,000 Help Desk appointments and the feedback was phenomenal. Whether you’re looking for help with preventative maintenance, system upgrades or even simple instruction, we are happy to help. Visit our website at buckslib.org/helpdesk to learn more and make an appointment.
