OUR STATS FOR CIRCULATION . . .
were slowing down in April 2011, due mainly to Spring Break and the library closing for a few days so that our librarians could attend the Missouri Association of School Librarians’ spring conference!
However, we reached a great milestone this month! We surpassed 10,000 book checkouts for the year! This is huge considering our physical collection only numbers 7,000 print volumes!
That means that (statistically) it’s likely every book checked out at least once this year! However, many of our books check out hundreds of time every single year, especially the newest books in our collection!
Keep it up in May, Benton High School!

OUR STATS FOR RESEARCH . . .included great projects centering on frog deformities, personal identity, and medieval jobs! For the Personal Identity Project in Comm Arts, students were surprised by how much information was available about themselves online via search engines like Pipl.com and Spokeo.com! April was a month full of great projects!
