About the statistics
- The figures describe Umeå municipality as a whole, not individual schools.
- Statistics year 2025. KB's current survey was first carried out in 2025, with reference year 2024. Staffing was measured differently in 2024; only total staffing can be compared between years, using KB's revised figures.
- Collections: about a quarter of libraries did not answer KB's collection survey, and KB does not adjust for it. The average may rest on few libraries.
- "Any form of staffing" says nothing about how many hours the library is staffed.
