Benton High School | April 2011
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! -- Mrs. Corey and Mrs. Halter
