WHEN: Door Count is taken three times each fiscal year, the third weeks in July, October, and April. The count begins on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. This Door Count will run from Sunday, APRIL 20th through Saturday, APRIL 26th.
WHAT: Door Count measures 2 things:
1. Visitors by the hour, through gate counts
2. In-House materials used, by the day
Gate counts are measured by recording the P number on your gate each hour. This way we get a general idea of what times of the day are busiest at your location.
In-House material counts are counted manually but we only need a daily total. This count is used by libraries nationally to measure use of print-based materials.
HOW: Please review the Door Count template before Door Count begins.
· Count any item that is removed from the shelf or stacks, by staff or the public. All formats are counted and each physical item is counted as one.
