2 FOREWORD I am pleased to be able to present the sixth edition of the CIPFAstats Comparative Profile for Public Library Servic These profiles provide a comprehensive analysis of public libraries data covering all the major topics collected in the CIPFAstats Public Libraries collection. This means that there should be something for everyone interested in the running of public library services. The analysis is simple and non-judgemental. You will not find any quartiles, traffic lights or subjective commentary. Instead the report seeks to visualise the data and to enable readers to draw their own conclusions. The "Executive Report" acts as a high level summary, but is also designed as an introduction to the whole report. Most readers will find reading through these pages helpful as an introduction to the style and logic of the more detailed pages. The reports will aid everyone interested in public library services to ask informed questions and come up with informed proposals for how the services should be delivered in the future. We hope you find this report interesting and helpful. If you have any comments, suggestions or queries then CIPFA would be delighted to hear from you (please see appendix 5 for contact details). Kind regards, Ian Watson Lancashire County Council Chair of the CIPFA Public Library Statistics Working Party Libraries_Profile Page 2 28/3/217

3 INTRODUCTION The aim of the profile is to provide management information for decision makers involved in providing the libraries service. Due to the wide range of topics covered, the report will have a broad appeal and should be of interest to members, librarians and officers. This profile compares your authority's library service figures from the 216 CIPFAstats collection with the group of authorities specified on the title page. This is the fifth year of the profile, CIPFA would greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions on how we can make the profiles more interesting and useful. INDEX Executive Summary Page 4 Section A - Libraries & Library Users Page 7 Section B - Resourcing Page 15 Section C - Workload Page 25 Section D - Stock Page 31 Section E - Performance Page 41 Appendices Page 45 Approach to missing data 93% of UK Library Authorities provided data for the 216 CIPFAstats Public Library Statistics. Authorities who did not provide data are excluded from these comparisions completely. In a small number of cases authorities have provided totals (e.g. for costs), but not a complete breakdown. In such cases the breakdown has been estimated by techniques such as apportionment or comparison to previous years' figures. In a small number of cases authorities have not provided other pieces of information. Where CIPFA felt this value was important an estimation has been made. In no cases does this estimated data constitute more than 15% of the data used in a comparision. Should any authority not be fully happy with estimates provided for their authority we will be very happy to produce a new report for them using new data supplied by that authority. If you have any queries about our approach please do not hesitate to contact us: libraries@cipfa.org Libraries_Profile Page 3 28/3/217

4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Comparing Brighton & Hove with 15 Other Library Authorities This summary provides an overview of the key indicators from the main report along with a few points of current interest, showing how your authority's library service compares against other authorities. Unless specified otherwise all data relates to Actuals. A: Libraries and Library Users Number of Libraries (31/3/16) d u a s w n k g m x h e z f t r Population ('s) The chart on the left compares the number of libraries your authority has with the other authorities in the comparison. Brighton & Hove has 14 libraries (the bar highlighted in black) compared to an average of 15 libraries (as shown by the horizontal line). Each pale bar represents one of the authorities in the comparator group. Brighton & Hove has close to the average number of libraries within the group giving an indication of the scale of the library service. For more information about this type of chart please see appendix z d u x w m a r s e n f g k h t Population is an important figure in this report as we use it as a denominator to adjust for the size of the authority (see next chart). Brighton & Hove is the 6th largest of the 16 authorities compared here (in terms of population) Number of Active Borrowers per 1, population x k g r u t n h m a w d f e s z The number of active borrowers per 1, population is a key indication of how well the library service engages with the public. Brighton & Hove is within the lower quartiles suggesting that the library service does not engage as well with the population when compared to the other authorities. Please see appendix 1 for further details on quartiles. Libraries_Profile Page 4 28/3/217

5 B: Resourcing 35, 3, 25, Total Revenue Expenditure per 1, population Total revenue expenditure per 1, population is a key cost indicator. Figures in the graph opposite are actuals. 2, 15, 1, 5, g k x h t m a e s u n w f d r z Brighton & Hove comes out as being at the middle of the comparison, which suggests that its costs are similar to the group as a whole. It may be worthwhile looking at the authorities who are cheaper to see if there is anything it can learn from their approaches. Total Revenue Expenditure per 1, population: Time Series 25, 2, 15, 1, 5, (Estimates) Brighton & Hove The line chart plots the total revenue expenditure per 1, population over the last four years and shows the estimated figure for The population figure used for all years is the mid-year 216 figure, so the changes in value relate to changes in expenditure only. For most authorities a drop can be seen in the estimates. 16.% 14.% 12.% 1.% 8.% 6.% 4.% 2.%.% Volunteer hours as a % of volunteer hours plus employee hours f g r e h m n a t s w x z k d u One well publicised approach that library authorities are taking is using volunteers. Brighton & Hove had 4.% of 'worked hours' provided by volunteers in compared to an average of 4.1%. Libraries_Profile Page 5 28/3/217

6 C: Workload 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Physical Visits for Library Purposes per 1, population k m h x g f n a u e d w t r s z The number of visits per 1, population is a strong indicator of workload faced by the authority. It is also another measure of engagement and offers a more complete picture as it will include other reasons for visiting the library as well as borrowing. 5, 4,5 4, 3,5 3, 2,5 2, 1,5 1, 5 Total Book Issues per 1, population n h e g d u w a m k r t f s x z This chart compares another core library activity, providing an indicator for both workload and the demand placed on the library book stock. D: Stock 2,5 2, Total Book Stock per 1, population This chart compares the overall book stock level of the library service. 1,5 1, 5 f t d k h u m n e x z w g s a r E: Performance 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% % Percentage supplied within 7 days h n s e w t m g d x u f a r k z Brighton & Hove successfully supplied 62% of book requests within 7 days of request. This was just above average for the group of authorities compared. Libraries_Profile Page 6 28/3/217

10 A2: Population Density Actuals Population Density and Number of Service Points In urban areas of high population density a small number of service points will be able to provide service to a large population. In rural areas more service points will be required to enable the population to have easy access. The scatter plots below compare these two factors. For all UK library authorities it can be seen that as population density increases (on the horizontal axis), the number of libraries per 1, population tends to be lower. As these charts are strongly effected by outliers, values for population density are capped at 12 and service points per 1, population capped at 18. and 3. for static service points and mobile libraries respectively.

45 APPENDICES Information to help you get the most out of the report. APPENDIX 1 - Comparative Bar Charts Page 46 The report makes a great deal of use of one simple type of chart that is used by many organisations including the consultants McKinsey & Co. to display data simpy and effectively. This section provides a detailed overview of the chart and instructions on how to read the charts to get the most out of them. APPENDIX 2 - Background Information Page 49 This appendix provides comparisons for educational achievement, deprivation, area, population and population density as all these can have in impact on libraries planning. APPENDIX 3 - Financial Information Page 51 This appendix provides more detailed tables of the financial data analysed in section B. APPENDIX 4 - Other CIPFA Libraries Services Page 53 Links to other services that CIPFA provides for library authorities. APPENDIX 5 - Contact Us!

46 APPENDIX 1 - Comparative Bar Charts Comparative bar charts This type of chart is the backbone of our report. It enables us to display the data for the entire group efficiently, displays clearly to readers where their authority sits compared to the group and provides key information about the range of values being compared. While we hope these charts will be intuitive to many readers, some readers will benefit from a little more information. In this appendix we clarify how these charts work and present techniques for getting the most out of the them. Example 1: Anatomy of a comparative bar chart This chart displays fictional user satisfaction data for 25 authorities. Each bar represents an individual authority and the bar for the reader's authority highlights in black. The values for the authorities are displayed in order starting at the highest value at the left of the chart and dropping to the lowest at the right of the chart. In this example, the black bar highlights on the left of the chart, showing that the authority is performing strongly (has a high value) for this indicator when compared to the other 24 authorities. The horizontal black line is the average value for the group. In this example it can literally 'be seen' that the authorities user satisfaction is clearly above average as the black bar is taller than the height of the average line. The y-axis shows the scale and enables readers to judge the values of individual authorities and the average. While readers natually cannot read exact values off the chart, your authority's own value and the group average will be displayed near the chart, often with the associated raw data. group average comparator authority your authority Example 2: Comparative bar charts for reports with small numbers of authorities This example displays fictional income data for 12 authorities. Authorities can request copies of this report using any grouping of authorities that they wish (e.g. small regional groupings, nearest neighbours or family groupings, core cities up to the whole of Britain). For small groupings of authorities (19 or less) we display letters under the charts and provide a key in the report to enable readers to identify each of their comparator authorities individually. letters enable readers to identify specific authorities Libraries_Profile Page 46 28/3/217

47 Example 3: Zero values and unavailable data Zero values: In some cases the value for any authority might be zero, in this case the value 'displays' as a bar of zero height (i.e. no bar) on the right of the distribution (which follows the pattern of lowest values to the right of the chart). Unavailable data: In other cases there may not be data available, either because the data were not supplied, or because the data supplied have been rejected. These are displayed by missing bars on the left of the chart. s: Zero values are included in the average as they are genuine values for authorities. The average however excludes unavailable data. This chart shows fictional agency staff costs for 12 authorities. The four missing bars can potentially cause confusion, however it will quickly become second nature to readers. In this chart, authorities q, f and a have no spend on agency staff, i.e. they have not used agency staff and therefore their values are genuinely zero. However the use by authority h is unknown and has been excluded from the analysis (represented by the gap on the left of the chart). The chart average is based on only 11 authorities as authority h is excluded. Example 4: Comparisons with large numbers of authorities When a large number of authorities are displayed the individual bars get so small that they start to merge. The value for your authority should still be clearly visible as the black bar. While individual bars cannot be seen, this does not detract from the readers ability to compare their value to the group, or learn about overall range of values. This chart shows fictional overhead costs for 15 authorities. By looking at the shape of the graph and position of the black bar and average line the following information can be observed. The black bar authority has a very low figure, being less than a third of the group average. Data were not available for around 1% of the authorities (gap on left of the chart). 5% of the authorities report either zero or miniscule costs (gap on right of the chart). There is great variation in these costs, as the distribution slopes smoothly from left to right showing that there is no 'typical' value for this cost. Libraries_Profile Page 47 28/3/217

48 Examples 5-8: Example distributions and help in interpreting them The distributions of values shown on the charts can vary greatly. Here we show some examples to help readers understand how the distributions can vary. In each case we will keep the black bar authority's value the same and the group average the same, however the shape of the graph and distribution of the groups values are varied to give quite different pictures of the example authority's costs. This chart shows a very common distribution (which a statistician would appropriately call the 'normal' distribution). While there is a wide range of values (2-1) the majority of authorities are in a much tighter range (about half are between 5 and 7). In this particular case the highlighted authority has one of the highest costs. This chart shows a straight sloping distribution. There is no consistency between authorities and no such thing as a typical value. In this particular case the highlighted authority is above average, but not signficantly so. This chart shows little variation between authorities. In this particular case the highlighted authority is clearly the most expensive per 1, population. This distribution is quite rare, the chart clearly displays two distinct groupings of authorities. In this case interpreting the highlighted authorities value is difficult and it is important to investigate the reasons behind this variation. Quartiles We finish this introduction with a quick note about quartiles. Quartiles are a popular simple way to examine distributions of cost or performance data. Quartiles are produced by splitting the distribution into four quarters, as presented on the right. Mathmatically the word quartile refers to the boundaries between the quarters (called the lower quartile, median and upper quartile). In business & management the word quartile is more often used to refer to the quarters themselves. "Top quartile" is used to desribe the best quarter (e.g. highest performance) while "bottom quartile" refers to the worse (e.g. high cost or low performance). It is common approach to view "being in the top quartile" as a benchmark to be achieved, and "being in the bottom quartile" as a sign of problems. We do not show quartiles in this report, as this approach can be viewed as simplistic, and it does not fit in with the purpose of the report, which is to inform rather than judge. The reader should however compare the top and bottom charts and note how easy it is to quarter the distribution with the mind's eye. Libraries_Profile Page 48 28/3/217
