NC Library Statistics

Public Library Statistics

The Statistical Report of North Carolina Public Libraries is an annual compilation and analysis of data reported by North Carolina's public libraries. The State Library of North Carolina participates in the national Public Library Survey administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Many data elements in the Statistical Report of North Carolina Public Libraries questionnaire correspond to those required for participation in the national survey, ensuring that North Carolina's public library statistics are comparable to those of the other 49 states and the District of Columbia.
