Effect of Weather and Days of the Week on Number of Daily Circulation in Public Libraries

INTRODUCTION Objectives This study investigated the effect of weather and day of the week on the daily circulation numbers (i.e., number of loans) of public libraries. [...]variation in this effect according to the location of the library was explored. [...]this study sought to address that gap. [...]when multiple factors are in play, fluctuations and interactions become complex, making empirical prediction difficult. [...]a model that predicts daily library use will provide helpful information for staff deployment. If the library is located in an urban area, users may come primarily by foot or public transportation. [...]visiting the library during rainy weather may be expensive.
