We had a blast celebrating National Library Week in April with our “Guess the Collection” game!

Adults tried to guess how many physical items are available across all 32 branches, and kids guessed how many items are in the St. Michael Library.

The answers:
• Region-wide: 788,855 items
• St. Michael: 45,430 items

Our winners:
Kelsey (adult category) with a guess of 600,000
Johanna (kids category) with a guess of 34,524

Congratulations to both of our winners, and thank you to everyone who took a guess. Stay tuned for more fun at the library!
