Public Library Circulation and Circulation per Capita: New Hampshire (1990-2011)

Perhaps I need to check all the math.  The 2011 IMLS report shows that New Hampshire's per capita circulation jumped to 11.7   The actual circulation numbers presented in the 1st line graph do not support this.

The revised figure, 8.7, was calculated when I divided an estimated 2011 population (1,318,500) into the year's circulation total,  I'll admit that this was the first time a red flag was raised with a simple visual inspection in this series,.
