Not there yet……the potential of special collections, e-
books and e-audio in a public library environment
Key metrics FY 2017/18
280k members = 47% population
2.7m visitors = 7k per day
7.5k programs = 175k attendees
5.8m loans = 16k per day
Special Collections
City Libraries currently has 5 special collections
Local Studies & Special Needs are long established
collections while the Indigenous, Surfing and LGBT+
collections have been created in the last 2 years.
The indigenous, surfing and LGBT+ collections also
have digital content in City Libraries’ e-book & e-
audiobook platforms.
Measuring value
Special collections can be measured in terms of loans
and turnover but it is much more difficult to measure
their value to the community
Customer feedback is often the most useful measure
This collection is amazing! Go you good things!
