The pie chart and table depict information about the Little Chalfont public library, including the age distribution of its members and a breakdown of the items borrowed by category in 2016, while the bar chart illustrates how the total number of loans changed annually from 2007 to 2016.
Overall, the total figure of loans trended upwards from 2007 to 2016, with fiction, either for children or for adults, being the most popular at the end of this period. Regarding its members, adults represented the lion’s share, with those aged 18 to 64 constituting the largest percentage.
According to the table and bar chart, starting at just over 15,000, the total number of loans experienced the slightly upward fluctuation throughout and reached a zenith of over 20,000 in the last year of this period. Out of this total, the vast majority was fiction, either for children or for adults, each accounting for 38%. In contrast, adults and children’s non-fiction loans made up significantly lower proportion, at 13% and 6%, respectively. In comparison, the remaining categories constitute rather negligible percentage, at approximately 1-2% apiece.
