If <br />your ILS does not permit you to distinguish between adults and juveniles, report all borrowers in the adult category <br />and N/A in the juvenile category. <br />700.Adults <br />149,230 <br />701.Juveniles <br />115,444 <br />702.Total Registered Users <br />164,674 <br />Library Visits <br />Report the total number of persons entering the library for whatever purpose during the year. Include persons <br />attending activities and meeting. If an annual count of persons entering library is unavailable, determine an annual <br />estimate by counting during a typical week in October and multiply the count by 52. A "typical week" is a time that is <br />neither unusually busy nor unusually slow. Avoid holiday times, vacation periods for key staff, days when unusual <br />events are taking place in the community or in the library. Choose a week in which the library is open its regular <br />hours. Include seven consecutive calendar days, from Sunday through Saturday (or whenever the library is usually <br />open). <br />This data element is reported to PLSC. <br />703.Librar Visits <br />1420,963 <br />Method of data collection: visits <br />I Gate counters <br />Programs <br />A program is any planned event which introduces those attending to any of the broad range of library services or <br />activities or which directly provides information to participants. Programs may cover use of the library, library <br />services, or library tours. Programs may also provide cultural, recreational, or educational information, often <br />designed to meet a specific social need. Examples of these types of programs include book clubs and summer <br />reading events. <br />Count all programs, whether held on- or off -site, that are sponsored or co- sponsored by the library. Do not include <br />programs sponsored by other groups that use library facilities. If programs are offered as a series, count each <br />program in the series. For example, a book club offered every two weeks, 24 weeks a year, should be counted as <br />24 programs. Exclude library activities delivered on a one -to -one basis, rather than to a group, such as one -to -one <br />literacy tutoring, services to homebound, homework assistance, and mentoring activities. <br />Offered <br />Attendance <br />704.
