3. STATISTICS
3.1 Public Libraries
The State Statistics Committee provides yearly statistical data on public libraries. Since regaining independence, the statistics of public libraries has been diminishing. Obviously, occupation of territories by Armenia and situation in the country have an impact on the status of public libraries.
According to statistics (1/01/2004), almost all indicators of library activities fall down in comparison with 1990s, as mentioned above. This tendency is characteristic to child libraries too. For 1990-2003 number of child libraries decreased 8,2% and number of their readers – 10,1%. In fact 1/3 of public library buildings have bad technical conditions.
