Bookmobiles Library Circulation Library Expenditures Library Research Library Services Program Costs Program Evaluation Public Libraries A data comparison was made between 33 rural libraries in Utah and the essentially rural bookmobile service maintained by the Extension Services Division of the State Library Commission of Utah.
