Statistics notes

OK, so I took some time to look at the stats last night, here are some interesting tidbits...(these numbers represent January - October)

We circulate a lot for a library our size.......36.87 per capita....which puts us at the top of resort libraries in Colorado, and only second in the state to Silverton (their per capital circulation is 71.43)

Here's some numbers about our circulation:

The Browsing collection has more than 2000 circulations so far this year - it shows that our reader's want the new stuff - let's work even harder at promoting these titles.

Almost half of all of our circulations are Music or Movies!

DVDs are a whopping 39% of all of our circulation (up from 35% last year) and music is 10% percent of all of our circulation (up from 8 percent last year)

Non-fiction is 11 percent of our circulation (includes the travel collection)

Fiction is 7 percent of our circulation (including Browsers and large print)

and just plain-ol' regular New books are 4.4% of our circs........
