Benton High School | January 2011

OUR STATS FOR CIRCULATION . . .

held steady for the month of January despite the many snow days. Our new books from the fall carried our print circulation. Our circulation stats are on course to reach 15,000 again this school year! We’ve seen a great turnover in the Top 10 Books category every single month this year! This month, we saw a number of old favorites enter the list from the previous Gateway Reader’s Award Nominees. We’ve had some very steady circulation statistics for both new books and the existing collection! We were in school for only 12 days in January, but in that time we checked out 1138 books! That’s almost 100 books a day! We also re-circulated our new books from the fall order 323 times. For the school year to date, we’ve checked out new books 1402 times! Keep reading, Benton High School!!! Let’s make 2011 a great year! --Mrs. Corey and Mrs. Halter
