Empowerment Zone Stats

I started the Empowerment Zone back in March hoping that it would be successful. With much word of mouth marketing, some blurbs in the Palm Beach Post and Sun Sentinel, and articles in the Delray Forum and Atlantic Ave magazine the numbers are increasing. The first month we had 6 people, then 13 the following month, and then in May we had 44 people use the Zone! I am hoping that this keeps up because we are helping people by providing resources in tough times, and this also reflects well on our library. I am in the process of getting approval for some new signs and posters to better advertise the EZ.
