Overall, I am pleased with this year. Most all of my usage statistics trend upward which is always a good sign that the library is well used. The only one that went down - slightly - are the books added to the collection this year. We added 559 books last year, and only 471 this year.
The trend I find most interesting are the top 10 books checked out this year. This year 6 of them are manga/graphic novels, and only 4 traditional fiction and nonfiction books earned a top spot this year. However, last year I had only 3 manga/graphic novels make the top 10 list. That means there were 7 fiction or nonfiction books. Funny enough - Atomic Habits made the list in the 10 spot both years. What are the odds of that?
If you want to compare last year to this year, you can visit my previous blog post and compare. End of 24-25 School Year.
Now that my last contract day is here, I am so ready for summer. I plan to read, play with my kitties, and float in our pool. I am sure there will be some house maintenance to be done, but I plan to enjoy every free day I have.
Enjoy! Keep reading.
