IN 2024, MORE THAN 1000 SLRS VISITED THE LIBRARY TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND WE GAVE OUT 842 FREE FORM PACKETS TO SRLS DIRECTED TO US FROM THE COURTS. WE RECEIVED 637 QUESTIONS FROM SRLS VIA EMAIL, PHONE AND VISITS.OUR LIBRARIANS HAVE BEEN ASSISTING SRLS AT THE FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT'S FAMILY COURT HELP CENTER ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS FOR THREE HOURS WITH FILING SIMPLE DIVORCES SINCE APRIL 2019.

OUR HEAVIEST ATTORNEY USERS ARE SOLO ATTORNEYS AND SMALL FIRMS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THE RESOURCES THAT LARGE LAW FIRMS MAINTAIN. MOST OF THE LIBRARY'S ONSITE VISITS WERE FROM FIRMS WITH 10 OR FEWER ATTORNEYS. LARGE FIRMS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE SIZE OF THEIR LIBRARIES AND AS SUCH RELY ON JENKINS FOR LEGAL RESOURCES NOT AVAILABLE TO THEM VIA THEIR ONLINE SUBSCRIPTIONS. IN ADDITION, THEY UTILIZE THE RESEARCH EXPERTISE OF OUR LIBRARIANS ON A DAILY BASIS.

ALTHOUGH JENKINS HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRONG IN CUSTOMER SERVICE SATISFACTION, THE UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PANDEMIC ELICITED MANY ACCOLADES WHICH THE LIBRARY CONTINUES TO RECEIVE.
