MHLS - Annual Report 2005

Mid-Hudson Library System Statistical
Annual Report 2005

As reported by Member Libraries on their 2005 Annual Reports

Notes

The information in this report reflects conditions and activities in the calendar year 2005 for most libraries. [Statistics for school district public libraries are based on a fiscal year (school calendar) of July 2004 through June 2005.]
Chartered population figures are based on the 2000 Census.
Per capita statistics are based upon each library's chartered population. In some instances this does not reflect the actual populations served, skewing the per capita figure. Check with your library to verify the figure.
Four libraries have Correctional Facility Populations (Census 2000) included in their chartered population totals, which affects their per capita figures. These are: Beacon, Beekman, Coxsackie, and Hudson.
Some libraries receive in-kind services in addition to their monetary receipts. The value of these services is reflected in the "In-Kind Services" section of this report.
Beekman Library was closed from mid-March through August 2005, in preparation for the opening of the new library building. This impacted circulation, programs and annual visits/users statistics.
Kingston Library's statistics were similarly affected by its closing for renovations from 10/17/05 - 11/25/05.
