Some findings from a two-year study of public libraries in Victoria are highlighted.
From The Age:
There are more than 27 million visits to Victoria’s public libraries and 50 million loans a year, with half a million loans in languages other than English.
Digital library services are booming. More than 300,000 e-books were downloaded from public libraries in 2011-12, 15 times as many as the previous year. There were 1.3 million wireless sessions at libraries, more than double the 515,000 from the year before.
