The Institute of Museum and Library Services has collected some interesting statistics indicating
that despite the sharp decline in library usage over the last ten years, libraries have actually seen an increase
in the number of people who come through their doors annually since the beginning of the current
recessionary period in 2008. Was this a contradiction, or some kind of error? Table 1 shows the data in
question.
