I saw that the Irvin Young Library produced a small pamphlet highlighting some of the statistics from its 2007 annual report. I have advocated the construction of a larger library, and here are highlights from the pamphlet about services provided from the existing building:
450 adults attended 35 programs
3004 kids attended 143 programs
10032 items were lent to other libraries
There were 92710 visits to the library
3901 reference questions were answered
846 people signed up for new library cards
library computers were used 9970 times

These are impressive statistics for a community that much needs and benefits from a strong public library.
