How Libraries Stack Up: 2010

In the United States of America:

• More than 12,000 public libraries - including PGPL - provide free wireless Internet access.
• Library cards are almost as prevalent as credit cards.
• Every day, Americans borrow 2.1 million DVDs from libraries. (Pagrovians love our library's DVD collection!)
• Every day, U.S. public libraries circulate as many materials as FedEx ships packages around the world! (Last fiscal year, even with our shortened hours, PGPL checked out more than 200,000 items to our patrons!)
