Library Circulation on the Rise

According to a recent article in the Boston Globe, circulation is on the rise. As our economy spirals downward, more people are returning to libraries in record numbers. Many customers are also gettting movies because they cannot afford to rent them any longer. Some libraries have had as much as a 19% increase in circulation compared to this time last year. Hopefully, this trend will continue and library budgets won't decrease.

HI!

I noticed this at my local library as well. I'm glad to see this published information on it---confirming my theory! Thank you for sharing!

I wanted to let you know that the post is up on my blog for the February Children's Chapter Book Challenge Reviews. I hope you can stop by and post a review. No pressure. I just remember you said you wanted to join in on the fun!!!

By the way, one more thing:-) I am going to be hosting a Boomtown Bonanza where I give away an autographed copy of Boomtown by Nowen N. Particular as well as an autographed map of Boomtown! I thought you may want to participate and/or post about it on your blog. It will begin March 9th!

Sincerely,
Marietta
