# Library Usage

The Library Usage report is a list of patrons and the number of times each has used the library (checked out) during a given range of dates.

* **Circulation date range** - The range of dates to use when determining how many times each patron has borrowed something from the library.

* **Exclude patrons with no circulation in date range** - Check this box if you don't want patrons with 0 check outs to be included on the report.

## Selecting Records
The next step is to select which patrons with overdue loans you want to include on the report, using either **Basic** or **Advanced** record selection options. See [Selecting Records for Patron Reports](/docs/selecting-records-for-patron-reports) for detailed instructions.

:::(Info) (Multi-Location/Branch Library Systems)
If your library is part of a system that has multiple locations or branches, the report will be based on the selected location at the top of the page and whether you have selected **All Locations** or **Selected Location Only**.
