  • Alabama Public Library Service Library Directory and 1990 Statistical Report. Financial Support Library Circulation Library Collections Library Expenditures Library Networks Library Personnel Library Statistics Operating Expenses Public Libraries State Programs The first section of this report is a directory which features 203 public libraries, 7 multi-county library systems, 12 single-county public library systems, and the multitype members of the Alabama Library Exchange (i.e., 8 public, 6 school, 8 academic, and 10 special libraries). Entries list the library's address and telephone number, names of a contact librarian and the chair of the board, hours open, and other information about the libraries. Library and contact librarian names are cross-referenced in a separate list. The remainder of the document is composed of data on individual libraries. Statistics by county cover (1) each library system's area population; (2) library personnel; (3) collections--i.e., books, periodicals, microforms, film, phonograph records, audiocassettes, videocassettes, art prints, filmstrips, and computer software; operating expenses; and state and federal funds received. The libraries are then ranked by number of staff, volumes, circulation, income, expenditures, local income per capita, and total income per capita. (BBM)
