Mid-Hudson Library System Statistical Report 2008

As reported by Member Libraries on their 2008 Annual Reports

Notes

1. The information in this report reflects conditions and activities in the calendar year 2008 for most libraries. Statistics for school district public libraries are based on a fiscal year (school calendar) of July 2007 through June 2008]
2. Chartered population figures are based on the 2000 Census.
3. 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.
4. Four li braries have Correctional Facility Populations (Census 2000) included in their chartered population totals, which affects their per capita figures. These are: Howland Library in Beacon, Beekman Library, Heermance Memorial Library in Coxsackie, and Hudson Area Library.
5. 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.
