We're Number One! Again!

Despite looming cuts, Twinsburg Public Library receives highest ranking; circulation at an all-time high!

Although all libraries across the State are facing cuts in state library funding, the Twinsburg Public Library proves how valuable it is to the community. The latest results for the HAPLR report, which rates over 9,000 public libraries in the United States using the latest federal data, have been released and the Library ranked number one in the entire country for its population served. The Twinsburg Public Library is also one out of only 11 libraries in the entire country that have appeared in the top ten in each addition of the report, five of which it ranked number one. www.haplr-index.com


The high ranking is not surprising considering the incredible statistics put out by TPL for programming and circulation each month. In June, the Library circulated over 116,000 items, the highest it has ever seen in a single month.


The Twinsburg Public Library is grateful for the two local property tax levies generously supported by Twinsburg School District residents, state funding; membership in Clevnet and most importantly the Library patrons that make such great use of Library materials and programs. The Library Staff, "Team TPL" has worked hard to meet the needs and desires of everyone in a fiscally responsible manner, and has performed well under the stress of looming budget cuts. Thank you Twinsburg for making us number one!
