LibraryIQ analyzed performance data from thousands of public libraries to build something the library community has never had before: a collection benchmark report organized by collection size, designed to help library staff know where they stand and what the strongest libraries do differently.

• Performance data across collection sizes from 10,000 to 2,000,000 items, including high-performer profiles for libraries operating at the largest scale

• A breakdown of which collections consistently drive the most circulation and which quietly drag down overall metrics

• Benchmarks for key metrics including turnover, no-circ rates, DOA, and relative use

• Actionable guidance for every size group

• A dedicated section on how LibraryIQ helps libraries put this data to work

Anyone who touches collections — from collections and acquisitions staff to branch managers, department heads, directors, and anyone involved in collection planning, budgeting, or evaluation.

We also hosted a webinar walking through the key findings in this report. Watch the recording.
