Analysis of technical efficiency is an important tool in management of publiclibraries. We assess the efficiency of 4660 public municipal libraries in theCzech Republic in the year 2017. For this purpose, we utilize data envelopmentanalysis (DEA) based on the Chebyshev distance. We consider total expenditures,employees and book collection as inputs with registrations, book circulation,event attendance and collection additions as outputs. We pay special attentionto the operating environment and find that the efficiency scores significantlydepend on the population of the municipality and its distance to themunicipality with extended powers. To remove the effect of the operatingenvironment, we perform DEA separately for categories based on decision treeanalysis as well as categories designed by an expert.
