Total Print Serials: Volumes are a unit established by the publisher. Enter the number of volumes held, including duplicate copies of volumes, regardless of whether the material is bound, unbound or on microform.
Do *not* count serials in electronic format here.
Do *not* include print serials that are not retained by the library.
Curbside interactions DO NOT count as visits. Curbside pickups do not count as library visits because the building is not open to patrons.
Q. How should a library count the hours open?
A. The federal definition for hours open is used – which is hours that the building is accessible to the public, (regardless of staff access and other service provided.) An outlet is considered physically closed when the public cannot access any library buildings or bookmobiles, regardless of staff access. A building can be physically closed but still offer virtual, Wi-Fi, or “curbside” services outside the building. In that case a library should not count the hours open.”
“Q. Are “lobby services” considered hours open?
A. No, although the entry part of the building could be open for contactless service, patrons are not able to use the facility. In that way, Lobby services are considered similar to Curbside services and the hours that a building is accessible for Lobby Services only should not be included in Public Service Hours.”
Q9.16: Number of Weeks This Outlet is Open – This is the number of weeks during the year that this outlet is open to the public. Include the number of weeks open for public service. For bookmobiles, count only the weeks during which the bookmobile is open to the public. The count should be based on the number of weeks that the library outlet was open for half or more of its scheduled service hours. Extensive weeks closed to the public due to natural disasters or other events should be excluded from the count even if the staff is scheduled to work. Do not calculate the number of weeks based on total number of service hours per year at this outlet by dividing total hours by the average hours open per week. Round to the nearest whole number of weeks. If the outlet was open less than half its scheduled hours, round down.
