[Cultural Foundation Statistics: Activities of the Library Services Department, 2001–2002]

Abstract

This statistical item presents a report on the activities of the Library Services Department at the Cultural Foundation during 2001–2002. Through a table and chart, it records monthly activity across several library facilities and services, including the main hall, the Gulf Library, the Children’s Library, the Internet hall, and readers’ use of materials, with annual totals for each service. The item highlights the intensity of use of library and cultural services, particularly readers’ consultation activity, while also documenting attendance at the main hall and use of Internet services, the Children’s Library, and the Gulf Library. Its significance lies in providing quantitative indicators for assessing library service performance within a public cultural institution, analyzing user behavior, and supporting planning for the development of facilities, services, reading programmes, and information services.
