We defined the busiest branches by the total reach the locations had. Branch reach is measured by total visitors, programming, computer sessions, wireless sessions, and circulation combined. Copley (the busiest branch) had a reach over 500,000.

We chose the fourth quarter of 2022 because it is the most recent data (as of the writing of this post). When comparing numbers, we noticed that the library's reach continuously increased throughout the year, and the last quarter (October to December) was the busiest time.
While the data can be analyzed many ways, we also noticed that the branches with the most visitors also had the most overall activity. Here they are in alphabetical order ...
Brighton
Charlestown
Codman Square
Copley
East Boston
Grove Hall
Jamaica Plain
North End
Roxbury
Roslindale
South Boston
West End
West Roxbury
