Statewide comparison statistics for 1997 to 2004

The information published in the Texas Public Library Directory and Statistics was taken from Annual Reports submitted by public libraries in Texas. The statistics reflect each library's local fiscal year, defined as the fiscal year which includes January 1st. The membership year noted in the statistics refers to the State Fiscal Year. "Member" indicates that the library met the criteria for membership in the Texas Library System, individually or as part of a federated library system (FLS).

Please note that the contact information found in the directory (listed above for years 1998-2003) was submitted with the local fiscal year annual report. For the current library contact information, please access the Excel spreadsheet given above, updated weekly: www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/pls/contactinfo.xls
