The preliminary data from the Public Library Annual Report is now available on LRS.org. See Colorado Public Library Statistics and Profiles at: http://www.lrs.org/pub_stats.php.
For access to Colorado Public Library Interactive Statistics (LRS-i), use the new interface at: http://www.lrs.org/public/stats.php?year=2010.
For Input-Output Measures, see: http://www.lrs.org/public/cannedstats.php?year=2010.
Over the next 4 weeks I will be conducting second-round edit checks before sending the data to Census for processing and more edit checks. If you have corrections or changes to your library’s data, just drop me an email or give me a call and we can make any necessary modifications.
Note, this year we used the 2010 Census data, as reported by the State Demography Office, for the legal service area (LSA) population figures. Compared with non-census years, some library jurisdictions will see a greater change in their LSA population in census years. Typically, we see population count corrections in census years because in the intervening years between the censuses, population counts are estimated.
Corrections? Problems? Questions? Please contact me at: steffen_n@cde.state.co.us
