Congratulations to the Board and Library Staff! Library rankings have been released for 2010 and once again, the Westerville Public Library is ranked among the country’s Best Public Libraries in the Hennen Library Rankings Index. The 2010 Edition rates 7,930 public libraries in the United States using the latest federal data. Libraries are rated, scored and ranked on 15 input and output measures. The Westerville Public Library is ranked 8th among libraries in the 50,000-100,000 population range. This is the 7th time in 10 years that the Westerville has ranked in the top ten and the 12th consecutive year that Westerville has ranked above the 90th percentile, or in the top 10% of all libraries in the US. Again, congratulations to the Library Board, our staff and most importantly congratulations to the citizens of the Westerville Public Library District. Don
bravo for beefing up the library’s Agatha Christie collection. As a page, I had first hand experience on the popularity of her books. I suggest we beef up the Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Borroughs books, both almost equal in circulation to Christie.
