January 14, 1964
The circulation for November was nearly an ~11 time high for
school months, 7,491. But then came the assassination and
Christmas and we dropped to 5200 which was still 1400 more
than l~st December. This mont~ is already exceeding all e~pec-
rations and should be ~bout 7000.
We have already ordered, received, and catalogued many non-
fiction books that should be helpful to the students with
their projects. We have also tried to supplement the
adult collection, especially, the fiction. There seems to
be a limited number of good adult books right now.
The adult readers have been particularly loyal and Monday is
our busiest night.
We h~ve q~:ite a few out of city patrons and we might give
some consideration toward char~tng for non-resident c~rds.
The figures gathered fo* the yearly report are interesting
and will be reviewed.
The card catalogue has been separated into Juvenile and
Adult. The arrangement may be somewhat inconvenient but would
othe r~ise be too tall for the younger re~ders.
A new source has been found for used mystery books at 75%
discount. This should please our chronic mystery readers.
The figures for the budget are eagerly awaited so that we
can pl, n our attack for 1964.
H. Deeble, Librarian.
