Library Statistics

The State Library collects data from public libraries.  Click on the links to the left for statistics and the annual survey. These statistics are helpful when libraries want to:
  • compare their own library activity and use from year to year
  • compare information from libraries of similar size
  • obtain statistics to support budget requests
  • analyze the needs of and changes in their community
  • plan for how the library will serve the community in the future
