Pepin County: A Half-Century of Growth in Public Library Use

Part 46 of a county-by-county overview, one that doesn't fit the established pattern.

Pepin County

Population and Circulation, 1960-2009

Source:  Wisconsin Public Library Service Data (1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1999, 2001, 2009)

No circulation total is listed for the Durand Public Library in the 2000 service data report, so I took the average of 1999 and 2001.  

Durand allegedly experienced a circulation surge in 1997 and 1998.
1996:    41,467
1997:    80,892
1998:  106,869

By 2001, it had dropped to 73,862.
