Public Library Annual Survey

Changes for FY2023

#1.29 Number of Mobile Units - Number of electric bicycles, outreach vans, or other mobile vehicles that allows the library to provide services and library programming offsite. Mobile Units do not meet the definition of bookmobile.


Removal of Friends questions - After reviewing data submitted, OLIS determined that entering Friends information by outlet in Section 2: Outlet Information only will reduce reporting burden and data entry errors. If a library system has a Friends group for the entire system, it should be entered in Section 2 for the central library outlet.
