Custodial history
This collection was held by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library until it was transferred to the Region of Waterloo archives in 2017.
Scope and content
This series consists of questionnaires sent by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics to the Ayr Public Library between 1921 and 1967. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics, founded in 1919 was the predecessor of Statistics Canada, which replaced the Bureau in 1971. The Bureau sent the Ayr Library annual questionnaires for them to fill out so that the Bureau could compile statistics about Canadian Libraries. The questionnaires asked about salaries, budgets, total revenues and expenditures, number of books, number of patrons and number of books circulated. The Ayr Library did not always retain a copy of the Questionnaire for themselves, so for a number of years there are only the instructions for filling the forms, but not the forms. In other years, the Library retained a copy of the completed forms as well as the instructions. Series is arranged chronologically.
