[LIBRARYDIR] Quick question about gate counts

[Samantha Hines]

I instituted a gate counter when I started in 2016. We use a Raspberry Pi to track the door and divide the count in half. It gives us enough of an idea of when we're busy to help us plan for staffing. It's not fancy, but it was under $100.

Hello all,

Do you take and keep gate counts of the folks coming into your library?

Why or why not?

Thanks, Leslie
