29. Public library visits up, book circulation down

Hey,

I just compiled annual statistics and found the third consecutive year of increased patron visits, but book circulation declined almost 5% in a year. This is not atypical of public libraries nationwide. While small children's books and adult books are holding their own OK, books for older children are really languishing on the shelves. That's a bad omen for the future.
