These are all of the Class 6 Libraries in Michigan.  Many are not city-run, and I don't know what the qualification for "Registered Borrowers" was (probably includes some non-active users) and some of the numbers seem off (West Bloomfield for example), but still useful information.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Benchmarking Help Needed
 

Looking for some statistical information from Class VI “city-run” libraries.  City administration has asked me to provide statistics on the percentage of Dearborn residents that have library cards.  That’s fairly easy and we gather that information each fiscal year.  However, they want me to benchmark against other Class VI libraries. 

 

If you find time in your busy day (and keep this kind of statistic), could you let me know how many of your active library cardholders are residents.  We defined “active” as a patron who has renewed their card within the last three years.  Currently, just over 31% of our residents have library cards.
