community.
We work
diligently to track our progress
toward this end. One way we do
this is comparing PCCLD with peer
institutions.
An important yardstick is looking
to those public libraries in Colorado,
which, like PCCLD, serve larger
populations. The Library Research
Service (LRS) recently revealed new Figure 3: Program attendance
annual statistics that helps with this.
It is part of their Colorado Public
Library Annual Report, www.lrs.
org, and includes research results
and statistics for public libraries
throughout the state. PCCLD’s
outcomes fared quite well in this
analysis.
There are 13 public libraries Figure 4: Computer use

greater than 100,000 people. These
are, in addition to PCCLD, the
