As an important tool to enhance management and service quality, the library statistics and evaluation standards system can scientifically assess the operational status and service effectiveness of libraries. Based on an analysis of 351 library statistics and evaluation standard documents, this paper examines the current construction status and development evolution of China's library statistics and evaluation standards system, dividing it into three stages: exploration, systematic development, and balanced development. The study finds that each stage of China's library statistics and evaluation standards exhibits significant changes in infrastructure construction, service evaluation, management and collaboration, collection development, and information technology application, each with distinct characteristics of its era. In response to contemporary demands, the future development of China's library statistics and evaluation system needs to further evolve in the areas of digitization and intelligence, user experience and service quality, the balance between internationalization and localization, and sustainable development.
