Patrons in 1900
This list shows the number of patrons divided by their birth year, their gender, and their employment out of a total of 1,558 library users who made 23,392 transactions and read 2,666 different books. It appears that some users did not list their birth year on their registration, so that is why not everyone falls under this chart and could possibly skew some data.
