Dear Ms Cosgrove
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST 1200
Your request for information has now been considered and the information
requested is below.
The % of use of Libraries run by the authority by children aged under 16 -
our response...
The primary measure of "the use of Libraries" is a count of people
entering library buildings. This visitor count takes place at all
libraries and uses electronic counting technology, but as the technology
cannot distinguish between adults and children we do not hold the
information in a format that will accurately calculate the % use of
libraries run by the authority by children aged under 16.
The best approximate measure is statistics of books borrowed. Our figures
for 2007/08 show that around 29% of all books borrowed from Derby City
Libraries were children's books. However the limitations of this
statistic should be recognised, for example children from their mid-teens
onwards are as likely to borrow adults' books as children's books. Also,
and probably more importantly, the figure ignores all non-borrowing use of
libraries, whether this be use of the Internet, attendance at events such
as storytimes and reading groups, or use of information and enquiry
services.
Supply to you of any material does not give you the right to use that it
in a way that breaches the copyright or other intellectual property rights
in that material. For example publishing or otherwise re-using it for
commercial purposes. You must get the consent of the copyright owner which
may involve the granting of a licence and the application of a fee.
This does not restrict your rights under the fair dealing provisions of
the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

your request then please contact:
