Fiscal year 2024, for the whole Brevard County Library System system. The library’s own count.
Not reported for 2024: hours open. The survey fills a missing figure with its own estimate; we leave estimates out rather than show them as the library’s count.
Books and media off the shelf
3.3M print loans last year. The library didn’t report its e-book and e-audiobook loans.
The survey has no count of children’s loans for Titusville’s library in 2024, so there’s no split between adults’ and kids’ borrowing.
