3. PRELIMINARY 2011 PUBLIC LIBRARY STATISTICS AVAILABLE
Preliminary 2011 Wisconsin public library statistics, arranged in a spreadsheet at the public library level, can be found at http://pld.dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/pld/xls/11publib-preliminary.xls. These statistics are based on information submitted on the 2011 Public Library Annual Reports. Library directors are asked to review their library's data. Errors or corrections should be reported to libraryreport@dpi.wi.gov.
The final Wisconsin data will be made available immediately after review and acceptance of Wisconsin's 2011 public library data submission by IMLS (probably late August); however, the preliminary data may be useful for planning and comparison purposes, as well as for preliminary budget preparation. Other preliminary spreadsheets with data compiled at the county, system, and state level, will be available later in July.
