<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Looking for some statistical information from Class VI “city-run” libraries. City administration has asked me to provide statistics on the percentage of Dearborn residents that have library cards. That’s fairly easy and we gather that information each fiscal year. However, they want me to benchmark against other Class VI libraries. </SPAN></P>
