Most Literate U.S. Cities

It's an interesting survey, but the part that caught my eye was that, even though Cleveland is not high on the "Overall" list, which is a measure of six different factors, it has the highest library resource ranking of all of them

There is something good in the water of the twin cities for sure.

I'm aware of Cleveland's library system. I encounted that at an ALA (American Library Assoication) convention. In Maryland, we have interchangeable library cards for the individual county libraries, along with Pratt Library (Baltimore) a seperate library system. At one time Baltimore County Library had the highest circulation in the country.

I'm very pleased that Minneapolis and St Paul made it into the top three.

Gee, which cities were number one and three? Where are they? Hmmm, remind me...

For overall literacy, yes, but Cleveland won when it came to the library system.

I don't see NJ anywhere.

Haha. We dumb herrre.

I'd love to check out a library that amazing. Ours aren't...all the great I guess. Although how would I know since I've never been to any other one?
