CIRCULATION REPORT
The totals of July and August were both~in excess of 5000 this year. August of this year
might possibly hsve exceeded August of ]mst year by a larger amount if it hsd not been for
an exceedingly rainy lsst week.
In July, we circul~ted 5,143 items compared with 4,923 in July of last year. In August, our
total was 5,13! items compared with 5,02h in August of last year. As I remember August of
last year, we did not have r~in the last week. ~e gained a net of 220 items in July and in
August 10?.
Since ti~e ]mst ~eeting, we have ad,ed 74 easy books, 31 junior fiction, 81 junior non-ficti¢
26 adult fiction, and 80 adult non-fiction books. The books have been listed in the local
newspaper together with brief comments about them. The listings do promote circulation;
inasmuch as m~ny of the books are requested after their appearance in the paper. Our ~is-
Pl~ys also promote new book circulation both among chilUren and adults.
The Civil W~r display is still being read with interest--Each time, we add ~ ne;~ book about
the Civil War, we place it with that section of books.
The Jackets which we have in our windows promote the resting of the books which they ad-
vertise.
! expect to continue with story-time until Saturday circulation becomes too heavy to
permit us to hold it any longer.
