Increase in Circulation for 2007

The Twinsburg Public Library circulated 1,034,910 items during 2007 for a 3% increase. Details will be printed online in our annual report March/April.

The most recent federal statistics available use 2005 data to show these comparisons for libraries of similar sized communities:
  • National Average - Total Circulation - 229,658 (2005)
  • Ohio Average - Total Circulation - 686,323 (2005)
  • Twinsburg Public Library - Total Circulation - 968,747 (2005)
  • Library Programs - National average - 324
  • Library Programs - Ohio average - 791
  • Twinsburg Public Library - 2,207
  • Library Visits - National average - 151,838
  • Library Visits - Ohio average - 335,630
  • Twinsburg Public Library - 428,012
Remember that the most recent comparison statistics reflect 2005 totals. Not all states have submitted totals for 2006 and federal reports for 2007 probably won't be available for another two years.
