MHLS - Annual Report 2006

Mid-Hudson Library System Statistical
Annual Report 2006

As reported by Member Libraries on their 2006 Annual Reports

Notes

The information in this report reflects conditions and activities in the calendar year 2006 for most libraries. [Statistics for school district public libraries are based on a fiscal year (school calendar) of July 2005 through June 2006.]
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: Beekman Library, Howland Public Library in Beacon, Heermance Memorial Library in Coxsackie, and Hudson Area Association Library.
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.
