Gannett News Service Public Library Systems Database
According to American Libraries Direct 7/23/08 the Ann Arbor District Library ranks 15th in public libraries with the highest circulation statistics for 2006. Pretty impressive, considering the populations served by the top 14 libraries average around 22,000 whereas Ann Arbor District serves a population of 155,611 people. Our local public library averaged 34.3 items circulated per person.
Just a note:
Take the demographics data on the individual community reports with a grain of salt. Medium income for Ann Arbor is listed at $60,579 but so is Dexter, Chelsea, South Lyon, Whitmore Lake, Saline and Ypsilanti. Come on! If it's a county-wide average why not say so?
