Chicago Public Library: By The Numbers
When Fox Chicago ran a story questioning the necessity of Chicago Public Libraries, CPL Commissioner Mary Dempsey came back with a heated retort. In her letter to reporter Anna Davlantes, Dempsey pointed out that the Chicago Public Library system serves 12 million visitors per year, checked out nearly 10 million items last year and provided 3.8 million free one-hour Internet sessions. We asked CPL to share some more fun facts, most of which come from the 2009 annual report, which is available on the CPL website. All of these numbers reflect CPL activity as of December 31, 2009.
