There were 2.6 million visits to Charlotte Mecklenburg Library branches during the last fiscal year, according to an email sent by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation.
That's up from 2.3 million for the prior fiscal year.
More than 9 million items were checked out during the most recent fiscal year, up from 8.7 million the previous fiscal year.
Zoom in: Keep in mind, the library system was closed for several days for a software update in April.
My thought bubble: I account for at least 16 of the items checked out.
