ABSTRACT
Data in this report were derived from the 1991 annual
reports submitted by public libraries in Texas and reflect each
library's local fiscal year. The report begins with general
information about the Texas State library system, including
addresses
of agencies and names of administrative personnel. A directory of
public libraries and branches is included. Summary statistics
for the
state public libraries are listed in chart form, with 10 illustrative
figures, 13 analytical tables, and 5 figural
maps of state libraries.
Part IV of this report lists the public libraries by system in
a
20-page chart. In Part V, libraries are listed individually in
a
194-page table. A listing by county (23
pages, Part VI) completes the
breakdown. Characteristics of interest for the Texas libraries
are
expenditures, income, the size of the library collection, local
services and circulation, staffing data, and information
about
facilities. Three appendixes list library board chairpersons,
presidents of Friends of the Library organizations, and the 1991
annual report form and instructions. An index is provided. (SLD)
