Queens Library Has Highest Circulation in the U.S., Multnomah County Second
The Queens Library issued a news release on Friday morning boasting that, yet again, it had the highest circulation last year of any public library system in the United States.
The Public Library Data Service Statistical Report, issued by the American Library Association, found that the Queens Library loaned 21,033,861 items in the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2007. The Multnomah County Public Library in Oregon, which includes Portland, was No. 2, with 19,589,530 loans.
The Queens Library system has been No. 1 in the national ranking many times before — including last year — so this latest news was no surprise.
