The PLDS Statistical Report, a project of the Public Library Association, is designed to meet the needs of public library administrators and others for timely and effective library-specific data that illuminates and supports a wide variety of management decisions. This data is now available in a dynamic, Web-based format via the PLDS Database (for detailed information on the database, download the .pdf datasheet).

If you’re planning on attending ALA in Washington, DC, you can attend a live demo of the database on Saturday, June 23 at the following times:

• 2-3 pm, PLA booth, ALA Membership Pavilion in the Exhibits Hall
• 4-5:30 pm, Grand Hyatt Washington, Roosevelt/Wilson room

We’ll also be posting highlights from the presentation here on the blog.
