Using data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Public Library Survey, this study examined the relationships between the expenditures and resources of public libraries and children\u2019s and young adults\u2019 use. Three groups of variables were chosen from the dataset to represent expenditures, resources, and children\u2019s and young adults\u2019 library use respectively. Correlation analysis results reveal that most of the expenditures and resources variables were significantly correlated with children\u2019s and young adults\u2019 library use in libraries of all sizes. Further, analyses of material circulation and program attendance rates reveal that children\u2019s materials account for more than one-third of total library material circulations and 70% of public library program participants attend programs designed for children. The findings of this study provide empirical evidence to support the investment in library resources and services for children and young adults and are discussed in light of expansion of library services and programming focused on informal learning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0961000617709057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,6]],"date-time":"2017-06-06T01:13:32Z","timestamp":1496711612000},"page":"307-316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The relationships between the expenditures and resources of public libraries and children\u2019s and young adults\u2019 use: An exploratory analysis of Institute of Museum and Library Services public library statistics data"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Soohyung","family":"Joo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky, USA"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Cahill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0961000617709057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/lib.2008.0000"},{"key":"bibr2-0961000617709057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/523911"},{"key":"bibr3-0961000617709057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jue.2010.03.008"},{"key":"bibr4-0961000617709057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5860\/cal.14n1.36"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr5-0961000617709057","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1353\/lib.2010.a407806","volume":"59","author":"Davis DM","year":"2010","journal-title":"Library Trends"},{"key":"bibr6-0961000617709057","first-page":"3","volume":"10","author":"Diamant-Cohen B","year":"2012","journal-title":"Children and Libraries"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr7-0961000617709057","first-page":"11","volume":"10","author":"Dickerson C","year":"2012","journal-title":"Children and Libraries"},{"key":"bibr8-0961000617709057","volume-title":"Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries.
