Curry Public Library is pleased to share the news that we were designated as a Star Library by the national library publication, Library Journal. We were one of nine libraries in Oregon, and one of 258 nationwide to earn this recognition. Star Library ratings are based on data from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) annual Public Library Survey. We are particularly proud of this distinction because the data, which is from the 2020 pandemic period, reflects just how hard we worked to stay open and continue providing services. In fact, our per capita in-person library visits was the 8th highest of the 258 libraries in the United States were awarded stars at 24.10 visits per year.
Other information with noting:
- Per capita physical circulation was 11 items per year.
- Per capital e-material circulation was 1.66 items per year.
- Per capital program attendance was 2.07 programs per year.
Thank you for making us an important part of the Gold Beach community.
