My local council is Gosford City Council. The Gosford Council community profile page is located here. Erina Library is one of the smaller branches of Gosford city library. It is located in Erina Fair shopping centre. There are numerous schools and high schools within walking distance of the shopping centre, however i fell that the library does not utilise this advantage to its full capacity.
Statistics for the Gosford City area:
Middle aged people 35-49 are the highest population group with 33,146 .
The area is predominantly people who were born in Australia (120,971).
The Erina Library mainly caters to English speaking middle age people, and has a wide selection of adult books, large print and non fiction titles.
The library catalogue for Erina Library can be accessed through the council web page.
I'm surprised at how high the Australian born rate is in the Gosford Council Area catchment, close to 80% compared to Bankstown area(Anne's) and Rockdale area(TayaBK and mine.) local libraries in Sydney, where its closer to 50%.
ReplyDeleteI knew it would be higher, just not as high as that!
WOW!
saori.
An interesting site which shows how different the demographic population is on the central coast compared with Sydney's suburbs.
