This summary of Nebraska Library statistics for the 1994-1995 fiscal year is a compilation of data reported by 234 of the 256 public libraries in the state. The major urban libraries of Omaha and Lincoln serve 47% of the state population, while 75% of libraries in the state serve populations under 2,500.
