Public Library Statistics 2014/15 - Executive Summary

The State Library of NSW collects public library statistics in support of the Library Council of NSW’s duty to make careful inquiry into the administration and management of local libraries provided by local authorities which have adopted the Library Act 1939 (s5 Library Act 1939).

All NSW local government authorities (councils) have adopted the Library Act 1939, and all but one provide public library services to their communities.

In 2014/15 there were 101 library services, including stand-alone libraries and regional or joint libraries where up to 13 local councils have entered into a written agreement to provide combined services.

In addition to the 101 central library buildings there were 267 branch libraries. There were also 72 deposit stations/other service outlets, 32 administration/specialist service points and 21 mobile libraries operated by the library services, providing services to remote and isolated communities (figures as at June 2015).

NSW public library statistical measures have been gathered, collated and published by the State Library of New South Wales since 1973. The annual public library financial and statistical data, along with our research into services and trends, represents a significant body of information that assists the development of policy and practice advice.

This issue of Public Library Statistics has been produced from the reports provided to the State Library of New South Wales by local councils for the period July 2014 to June 2015.

A comparison of a number of measures collected over the last 40 years demonstrates the ongoing evolution of local public library services in New South Wales. A selection of graphs and tables demonstrating these developments follows. Some observations on NSW public library trends include:

High usage of facilities and collections:

Physical visits to public libraries are significant and have increased over the past 15years (35.3 million visits in 2014/15, up 24% in comparison with 2000).

Loans of collection items are significant, 43.6 million loans in 2014/15.

Internet use and online services have experienced extremely high growth over a relatively short period:

Virtual visits to public library websites grew by 2.1 million to 11.2 million between2012/13 and 2014/15.

Internet bookings in public libraries have increased from 5.4 million in 2012/13 to 9.6million sessions in 2014/15. WiFi sessions account for most of this growth.

While ebook loans are not a high proportion of the 43.6 million above, they haveincreased by 62% from 2012/13 to 2014/15 (655,264 ebook loans in 2014/15).

Detailed tables comparing many measures follow. Please contact the State Library for further information.

How current are collections in local libraries?

In 1985, 70.85% of library materials in New South Wales public libraries were less than 10 years old

and 37.36% less than five years old.

By 1995/96, 80.72% were less than 10.5 years old and 44.85% less than 5.5 years old.

In 2005/06, 93.31% were less than 10 years old and 50.23% less than five years old.



Data on the age of collection from 1985 - 2007/08 was calculated by comparing the total number of items purchased over the last 5 years and the last 10 years with the total current stock. **From 2008/09 the methodology used to calculate the age of material was revised to improve accuracy of the data collected in this area. The data presented in Age of Library Material is now based on the number of items purchased in the last 5 years and the last 10 years according to the date the material was acquired by the library as reported by the library’s Library Management System. Significant changes between 2008/09 and previous years can be attributed to these changes in methodology and the availability of more accurate data. * Notes: The 1995/96 pie chart uses 5.5 and 10.5 years in the calculations as the extraordinary six month period of January–June 1994 had to be factored into the equations when local government changed from a calendar to a fiscal year. The pie charts were calculated from the information provided by the libraries and not all libraries reported age of bookstock.

Notes to Public Library Statistics

Disclaimer The data published in Public Library Statistics is provided by New South Wales local councils and their public libraries. Data definitions are shared with all the councils prior to the annual collection to promote consistency of data submitted. The State Library runs edit checks over the data submitted and queries results with councils where necessary. However it is acknowledged that there may be inconsistencies from year to year. This report of statistical measures for public libraries in New South Wales has been produced from the 2014/15 statistical return reports provided to the State Library by local councils. It covers the period July 2014 to June 2015. The 2014/15 statistics are based on data submitted as at 30 June 2015 with per capita calculation based on ABS population figures for June 2014. Public Library Statistics has been published since 1973, providing significant historic time lines for comparative purposes.

Public Library Statistics 2014/15 xvi

Tables: Explanatory Notes

Some of the tables relate to a council, (eg. annual expenditure), whilst others relate to the library

service, whether that be a stand alone library, or a library service operated by more than one

council.

Table 1 Expenditure and Subsidy & 1a Voted Expenditure, Subsidy and Local Priority

Grant

The total expenditure figures provided by councils include monies from all sources spent on the

library service for that year. This figure, therefore, includes State Library Subsidies and Grants

where applicable, as well as the contribution made by local government. The total expenditure figure

is the gross expenditure, not the net expenditure.

Operating Expenditure per Capita is reported to the NSW Office of Local Government as part of the

Comparative Information on NSW Local Government Councils.

Councils report their financial data to the State Library of NSW via the Statement of Library

Operations form.

The expenditure figure for July 2015-June 2016 (Table 1a) represents the total voted by councils for

library services in this period. This figure may vary when the actual expenditure figures for this

period are known. The Subsidy and Disability & Geographic Adjustment figures in this table do not

include funds from the State Library Grant programs. Details of the grant funds allocated in each

year are listed in the Annual Report of the Library Council of New South Wales.

Website: http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/about-library/publications

All NSW councils which provide a library service in accordance with the Library Act 1939 receive a

Subsidy and Disability & Geographic Adjustment payment in support of their library. Councils

allocate at least 30% of their Disability & Geographic Adjustment payment to a library project,

termed their “Local Priority Grant”. These payments are reported in tables 1 and 1a as follows:

“Subsidy” comprises the per capita prescribed amount plus the portion of the Disability and

Geographic Adjustment which is not allocated to the Local Priority Grant. The “Local Priority Grant”

is the amount nominated by each council for its Local Priority Grant project.

Table 1d Expenditure on Library Material: By Library Service

This table lists the breakdown of expenditure on library material.

Table 2e Circulation by Council

This table lists circulation and circulation per capita by council. This data was previously reported by

the NSW Office of Local Government and published in the Comparative Information on NSW Local

Government Councils.

Public Library Statistics 2014/15 xvii

Table 4a Non-Resident Members by Council

This table lists non-resident members by council. This figure is used by the NSW Local Government

Grants Commission as part of the Library Services index calculation.

Table 5 Service Points

A Service Point refers to a library building, not the number of information or service desks within a

library building.

A Central Library is either a single site library service point, or the operational centre and central

service point of a multiple site library service; is operated by permanent paid library staff; is usually

where the principal library collections are housed; processing is centralised; AND where the public

have direct access to a full range of library services and facilities. Unless otherwise specified the

main branch library of the Administering Council of a Regional Library service is taken as the

Central Library.

An Administration Headquarters is the operational centre for a multiple site library

service that operates only or mainly for administrative functions and does not provide a full range of

public library services. This is not counted as the Central Library but as an Administration Specialist

Service Point.

A Branch Library is a service point that is an auxiliary facility with separate quarters from the Central

Library, a permanent collection of books, permanent paid staff present during all hours of opening,

offers a broad range of public library services and a regular schedule of public service hours.

A Specialist Service Point is a facility with public access that does not offer a broad range of public

library services, but focuses on one aspect of public library service, eg. children’s, genealogy. It is

operated by permanent paid library staff present during all hours of opening. This is not counted as

a Branch Library but as a Specialist Service Point.

Public Service Outlets - Deposit Station – a service point not operated by library staff, usually open

limited hours and stocked with a small collection of books and other library materials that are

changed periodically. Computer access to the library’s database may also be provided. Bulk loans

to institutions eg. Nursing homes, retirement villages, schools are not Deposit Stations.

Public Service Outlets –Other – These service points may be operated by paid library staff but are

open less than ten hours a week.

A Joint Use Facility or Area is open to the public, has a permanent paid staff and

is managed by a formal cooperative agreement between the council and another

institution (usually educational, eg. School or TAFE). A Joint Use Facility normally functions as a

branch library, eg. a school/public library.

A Mobile Library is a vehicle equipped and operated by paid library staff to provide a mobile branch

library service.

Public Library Statistics 2014/15 xviii

Table 5 Hours of Opening

Hours of opening count the number of hours a library is open to the community.

Hours of opening are not counted twice for any service point that covers more than one function.

For mobile libraries only operating hours, not time spent traveling each week, are counted.

Table 10c Expenditure on Library Material Per Capita

Prior to 2009/10 this table excluded licensed access to electronic resources. See table 1d for

breakdown on expenditure on library material.

Table 11b Average Cost of Library Material

The cost has been calculated by dividing the total expenditure on library materials by the number of

acquisitions. The resultant figure is distorted by each library’s expenditure on periodicals and the

number of donations counted as acquisitions.

Table 11c Age of Library Material

From 2008/09 the methodology used to calculate the age of material was revised to improve

accuracy of the data collected in this area. The data presented in Age of Library Material is now

based on the number of items purchased in the last 5 years and the last 10 years according to the

date the material was acquired by the library as reported by the library’s Library Management

System.

In previous years the age has been calculated by comparing the total number of items purchased

over the last 5 years and the last 10 years with the total current stock.

Table 16b Turnover of Stock

The turnover is calculated by dividing circulation by the total lending stock.

Table 17b Total Qualified Staff

Prior to 1992 total qualified staff referred to the number of positions available for

qualified librarians. However, from 1993 this table refers to the total number of library staff with

professional librarianship qualifications, regardless of the position they occupy.

Public Library Statistics 2014/15 xix

Categories

Up to 1994/95 library services were categorised as ‘metropolitan’ or ‘country’ in line with the

categories assigned to local authorities by the NSW Local Government Grants Commission. This

categorisation was based on two variables: geographic location and size of urban centre. For further

details see the introduction to the 1994/95 Public Library Statistics.

By 1995/96 the need for comparative analysis of Australian local governments on a national basis

had been recognised and the Australian Classification of Local Governments was adopted by

the NSW Local Government Grants Commission. The national system uses population, population

density, population growth, and location to identify twenty-two categories of local government in

Australia as detailed below. This classification system has been used in Public Library Statistics

from 1995/96.

The Expenditure and Subsidy table on pages 2-4 uses the Australian Classification categories. For the purposes of this report the council statistics in the Expenditure and Subsidy by Councils table on page 9 are divided into the seven main categories of Capital

City (CC), Urban Metropolitan Developed (D) Urban Regional Town/City (R), Urban Fringe (F), Rural Significant Growth (SG), Rural Agricultural (A), and Rural Remote (T).
