Great project, Chau. I think this is valuable data, and I’m sure local libraries and the librarians and elected officials that represent them would love to see some of your results!
Are all of the libraries in your study part of the Mid York Library System, or does your study cover multiple library systems? If the latter, it would be interesting to look at differences across library systems (versus individual libraries).
Also, it would be interesting to look at the correlation between library metrics and population demographics: e.g., average education level and household income of citizens of the municipality in which the library is located. (Although such effects may already been well known within the library research community.)
