Welcome to the Montana State Library's Statistics Center. This section has been designed to provide librarians and the public access to a wide variety of statistics reports, tools and publications.

Each year the Montana State Library collects statistics from public libraries in Montana. Libraries can use these statistics to analyze and evaluate library progress in various areas. These statistics are in turn submitted to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) allowing peer comparisons between libraries of similar size across the country.

Please refer any questions or suggestions on this section to Stacy Bruhn by email or phone at (406) 444-3115.
