CIRCULAIM
Up Almost 1,000 for May,
With Daily Average of
267 for 27 Days
From the standpoint of circulation,
the month of May was one of the big
gest the Perry library ever had, it
was shown today in the monthly re
port of the librarian,' Miss Mary
oLuise McDearman.
Total circulation for the Perry lib
rary proper was 7,210 volumes, as
compared with 6,238 in May last year,
or a gain of 972. This high record!
was made with an average daily cir
culation of 267 books for the 2' days
thel ibrary was open, and 40.2 per cent
of the total was non-fiction. The Dun
bar branch library had a circulation
of 467 or a decline of 449 under the
-916 last year. Despite this decrease
however, the total for both institu
tions was 7,677.
The large number of new juvenile
readers, due to the vacation reading
club, in which there are now 246 mem
bers, helped the figures up; Os the
juvenile circulation, 1,620 was from
books circulated in grade libraries, this
being a considerable increase from the
1,493 circulation in the gradel ibraries
last year. The decrease in the cir
culation at the Dunbar branch was
declared due to the fact that thel ib
rary is operated in the colored school,
which has closed for the summer, and
the closing was earlier this year.
The active membership of the Perry
library was 4 075 at the end of <May.
including 2,68 adults and 1,893 juve
niles, and including 98 new ones added
during the month, less 74 withdrawals,
a net gain of 24. At the Dunbar
bianch the membership at the end of
May was 1017, including 11 additions
duiign the month, there 'being no j
withdrawals.
New books addec during May num
bered s 8 at the Perry library, of which
48 were non-fiction and 30 fiction
volumes. Seven non-fiction and one
fiction volumes were added at the Dun
bar branch during May.
The Townsville branch library had
a circulation of 102 and a membership
of 90 during May. and the South Hen
derson branch had 4 5 readers and a ;
circulation of 375. Both are included
in the Perry library proper, and both
branches were considered to have
made a very fine record, the report
said. '
