Telluride Wilkinson Library receives 5 Stars

The Telluride Wilkinson Library recently received a 5 star rating by the Library Journal as one of the best used libraries in the country. The Institute of Museum and Library Services rated 7,115 public libraries and only 256 libraries received star ratings.

The libraries are rated per four measures—circulation, visits, program attendance and public Internet uses per capita. The top libraries in each category, organized by ranges of operating expenditures, were then assigned five, four, or three stars. Only 7 libraries in Colorado garnered stars and only 3 received 5 stars.

The Telluride Wilkinson Library also received the second highest score in the nation within its budget category for total operating expenditures which is the second highest score in the nation. Telluride should be proud to have one of the top recognized libraries in the country. For more info go to www.TellurideLibrary.org or me at buzz@fedorka.com.
