Cruz 10:54 AM, Sep 18, 2023 

I am writing to request data statistics regarding the number of visits to public libraries in Metro Manila for the period of 2019-2023. As a researcher committed to promoting literacy and access to information, this data will significantly support my ongoing studies.

Specifically, I am seeking:
1. The total number of visits to each public library in Metro Manila during this time frame.
2. A breakdown of visits by month or quarter, if available.
3. Demographic information on library visitors (e.g., age groups, gender).
4. Any additional data related to library usage or relevant trends.
