Those are more impressive numbers than I would have probably guessed (if my arm were twisted to do so). I should find out who's responsible for running/paying for my local library. I suspect it might not be the county (considering we have certain libraries that are specifically named/deemed XXX County Library--of which ours is not one), but I could be wrong.
