The first section of this document consists of a directory, featuring 201 public libraries, 8 multi-county library systems, 12 single-county public library systems, and the multitype members of the Alabama Library Exchange (i.e., 8 public, 6 school, 8 academic, and 10 special libraries). Entries list the library's address and telephone number, names of a contact librarian and the chair of the board, hours open, and other information about the libraries. Library and contact librarians names are cross-referenced in a separate list. The remainder of the document is composed of individual library data. Statistics by county cover: each library system's area population; library personnel; collections--i.e., books, periodicals, microforms, film, phonograph records, audiocassettes, videocassettes, art prints, filmstrips, and computer software; operating expenses; and federal and state funds received. The libraries are then ranked by number of staff, volumes, circulation, income, expenditures, local income per capita, and total income per capital. (SD)
