While all 77 public library systems returned their annual report form, not all items on each form were filled out. Data element fields that were left blank or were reported as N/A are generally entered as zero. 

Tables 1 through 14 and the five-year statewide summary table are available below in Excel and Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. To view the tables in Excel, download the file(s) and open in Excel. To view and/or print files in .pdf format, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. A free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader and installation instructions are available at <http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html>.
