Jane: do you mean circulation numbers? Lending records are typically protected and an important part of at least American librarianship has been the protection of intellectual freedom by refusing to share that information at all costs (and its held up in American courts).

access lending data for libraries in any locale. So it may be useful if we could have some property on Wikidata indicating whether or not the library keeps lending records, and if so, how far back they go.
Do you mean data retention policies for lending records? What detailed information is recorded about each lending, what aggregation or purging happens and when?
