For the latest data, see America's Star Libraries 2009, Round Two |
The LJ Index 2009 rated a total of 7,115 public libraries from across the nation. If your library was not given a star rating, you can still benefit from finding peers in your expenditure category and comparing stats, as well as mining the Models You Can Use section. You can find your library by searching this document of all included libraries or checking this document of all excluded libraries to see if your library was excluded from the LJ Index for a particular reason (to search these documents click on a cell within the tables, press Control-F, and make sure that "Search all sheets" is checked).
To download the data from either of these documents for use in Excel or other programs, choose "Export" from the "File" menu and select your preferred file format there.
If your library subscribes to Bibliostat Connect, you can search all of the included library data dymically there.
If you cannot find your library among the 7,115 included in the rating, please review which libraries were included, or check the document listing excluded libraries.

LJ hopes to see your library in the next round.
