COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) customers checked out 149,257 items last week, surpassing CML’s Checkout Challenge goal of 135,000 checkouts during National Library Week: April 7-13.
The promotion offered CML customers who checked out one item or more the chance to win a $100 Kroger gift card. One winner from each of CML’s 23 locations will be drawn at random and notified this week.
“We challenged our customers to help us celebrate by checking out 135,000 items, and they responded in a big way,” said CML Chief Community Engagement Officer Donna Zuiderweg. “We are so grateful to them for their continued support.”
