Explanatory Notes <br />CPM 101 Annual Report: FY 2011 Library Services / 89 <br />Figure 8 -2 <br />• Please note that circulation rates are sometimes affected by population size and a library's <br />collection size. Communities with smaller populations, frequently have smaller library collections <br />and lower circulation rates. <br />• Circulation rates may also be affected by the presence of multiple library systems within or near a <br />single jurisdiction. Some communities may be served by both a city library system and a county <br />library system; some others may also have primary and secondary school libraries and /or college <br />libraries that extend borrowing privileges to residents. Such circumstances may dilute circulation <br />rates within each system; conversely, they may spark interest and boost circulation in other <br />systems. <br />Figure 8 -3 <br />• Please note that visitation rates are sometimes affected by population size and a library's collection <br />size. Communities with smaller populations, frequently have smaller library collections and lower <br />visit rates. <br />• Similar to circulation rates, patron visit rates may also be affected by the presence of multiple library <br />systems within or near a single jurisdiction. Some communities may be served by both a city library <br />system and a county library system; some others may also have primary and secondary school <br />libraries and /or college libraries that extend borrowing privileges to residents. Such circumstances <br />may dilute visit rates within each system; conversely, they may spark interest and boost the number <br />of patron visits in other systems. <br />Figure 8 -5 <br />• No jurisdictions reported a value of zero for this figure.
