Here's what's circulating...
Right now we are up to about 1377 works in the catalog and about 130 books are checked out; (a 10% circulation rate)...
"Junie B. Jones" - a series about a first grader is the most popular by far according to our checkout statistics. Following behind is the "Left Behind" series, "American Girl" series, and joke books. Oh and how can I forget the ever popular "Captain Underpants". If we had two copies of every book in that series we'd still have kids wanting more. One of my favorite memories of working here is hearing a sixth grade boy bargain with a fellow student over the last copy of "Capt. Underpants". I strongly suspect a future in politics or law for that boy...
It is good to see some of the classics checked out too and I don't think it's because it was assigned by a teacher...these are
