| contents | LJ's Book Buying Survey 2011: Uphill Battle Hoffert, Barbara Public Libraries Library Services Library Administration Library Materials Library Policy Library Research Financial Support Economic Impact Purchasing Trend Analysis Respondents to "Library Journal's" ("LJ") annual book buying survey of public libraries nationwide reported that adult book budgets were down eight percent overall, the largest plunge recorded since the survey began in 1998. What's more, for the first time ever, cuts were reported for every region of the country and every size of population served. That these cuts came on top of reductions averaging 2.3 percent and 4.9 percent, as reported in the 2008 and 2009 surveys, respectively, suggests how hard up librarians must feel. (Contains 2 tables.) |
