CW MARS Year in Review 2025
CW MARS 2025 in Review
In 2025, as a patron of a CW MARS library, you nailed it! You saved almost 220 million dollars by borrowing over 13 million physical and digital titles instead of buying the material outright. If we stacked every book you borrowed from your library this year on top of each other, they'd reach 150 miles high, or in New England measurements, about 1.9 million medium DUNKIN’ coffee cups!
On average, your library's collection is 16,700% larger thanks to being part of the CW MARS network, and you made the most of it in 2025! This year, you requested over 1.3 million items from across the state, which were delivered right to your local library. If you were to drive to a library every time they shared an item, it would have taken you about 1.8 million gallons of gas.
Thanks to our automatic renewal process, we saved you nearly 14 million clicks on your phones and computers, putting those finger muscles to better use flipping and swiping through a whopping 1.6 BILLION pages of material. With more ways to use your library than ever before, we can’t wait to see what you accomplish in 2026!
