41 Over 12,000 people have come to the May and June programs. There was a 14%
42 increase in Circulation and 9% for the year. There are more youth books being bought
43 this year, so there are more new things available for the children. ILL use averages
44 about 75 per month. Although we only meet the minimum standards (2 items per
45 capita), we have the highest circulation of any library our size in the state. So we are
46 buying the right materials.
