LIBRARIANIS REPORT
May 204 1963
CIRCULATION
Ine circulation for the month of April increased 16.3 percent over the same month
l:rnt year. However, last year April =4as 1 percent under April 1961, so a true picture
In relation to the total yearly circulation percentage would probably be closer to
11 percent.
RfII STRATI ONS
There .are 463 more card holders than at this time last year, thus we are more than
keeping up with the population growth. This is entirely limited to adult patrons, as
th-a nutiber of children holding cards in April 1962 was 2,976, and this year it is
2,943. However, these children are reading r,556 books as against 70593 books, or
12.7 percent more then in April 1962. The elementary school system has a slightly
*mTler enrollment this ,eag, which probably accounts for the loss in childrenes regia®
trntionso .
