I don’t know, but where we live, library use is way up with the recession. More people checking out books, DVD’s, using the computers, etc. Some days its hard to find a parking place.
It is FULL right up until the time the lights go off and the doors are locked! Not to mention, there are books there that I want to read! Go figure! I don't have to go to Borders if I want a new book. (yes, there is a little sarcasm there - actually I ended up feeling a little foolish I haven't been using this resource)
