She stated that the local library belongs to the Northeast Texas Library System, one of 10 such systems in the state. Ms. Landon said they do what they need to do to qualify to belong to the system so they can also qualify for state money. For fiscal activity, Ms. Landon cited that 337,947 items that were checked out, which equals 25,000 items per staff person. She stated 54% of those items were print items, which means people are still reading in Paris. She also mentioned that the Library added 8,610 items to its collection.
