Door Count Week - July 26 - August 1, 2015

Hi,

 

We’re going to do our first Door Count week of FY16 next week and it will run from Sunday, July 26^th through Saturday, August 1^st.  We use this information to help us understand what the busiest times are at each library during a week and how much use our in-house materials are getting used.  Please assist in the following ways:

 

           1.)      Provide an hourly count of your visitors during the hours the library is open, either by a manual count or checking and recording the gate count hourly.                                                        

 

            2.)      Manually count all in-house materials use. 

 

Your template for entering Door Count information for your library can be found on the g:drive.  Just click on this link and select your location: G:\Statistics\DOOR COUNT .   Be sure to use the “JUL-15” spreadsheet.

 

For your records, the remaining Door Count weeks for this fiscal year will take place on the following dates. [I’ll be sending out the reminder notice 1-2 weeks prior to the start of each]

 

1)      October 18 – 24, 2015

2)      April 17 – 23, 2016

 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns or problems with the spreadsheets please email or call me.  I’m here to help.

 

Thanks so much,

 

Mary
