Sharon Forks Wants to Be a Millionaire!

Submitted by Basil Marcus & Claire Laguaite

This year, Sharon Forks Library has set out to reach 1,000,000 physical checkouts by the end of 2026. We are determined to achieve this goal and feel confident in our patrons to help us reach it! Every physical check out is counted in our total—from the smallest of picture books to the chunkiest of novels, every book counts!

To keep up with our goal, Sharon Forks has created a visual tracker in our lobby. The theme is “Sharon Forks Wants to Be a Millionaire,” inspired by the gameshow “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” On the first of every month, the previous month's physical circulation numbers will be posted. So far in 2026, we have already achieved over 60,000 checkouts. Stop by the Sharon Forks Library to track our progress and help us get on our way to ONE MILLION checkouts!
