The former CEO and chief librarian of Thunder Bay Public Library says a lack of new books is hurting the library's performance.
The TBPL CEO recently made a presentation to City Council on his future plans for the public library. The extension to opening hours, recruitment of kindergarten children and working with local businesses are interesting ideas, but an analysis of TBPL performance suggests that more radical measures may be needed.
For example, TBPL only spends 5.28% of its total budget on books compared to a group average of 10.3%. And TBPL only holds 3.6 books per active cardholder compared to the group average of 4.9.
