 (click the box next to the group to select all from that group, or click on the population group name to select individual statistics in the group)

Choose the Profile Statistic:

This section mimics the Peer Library Profiles that LRS has traditionally provided, with the advantage that now you can choose your peers. After selecting the appropriate libraries above, select a statistic from the drop-down list to view a bar chart.

Please note: With Resort Libraries, it is generally more useful to use per visit statistics than to use per capita measures. Per visit statistics better suited to resort libraries are at the bottom of this drop-down list.


Choose Key Statistics for Trustees:

This section provides ready access to selected statistics which best summarize the general health of a public library. These key statistics should be of particular interest to public library trustees who are interested in assessing the status of their library in relation to other Colorado public libraries. The five statistics in this group are total staff per 1,000 served, total operating expenditures per capita, library visits per capita, circulation per capita, and program attendance per 1,000 served. Why these statistics?
