Stats on book ordering
by Rebekah Dobski 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hello, I am wondering if anyone takes stats on the types of books they purchase. It could be as broad as how many fiction vs. nonfiction, or even more specific. Just looking to see how others may do it! Thanks :) Best, CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipient named above.

Earlier this month I was able to take my niece and her best friend around to a couple of summer library programming kick-offs happening right here in mid-Michigan. We began the day at Delta Township District Library, where we enjoyed crafts, root beer floats, and a bounce house. So many families, of all ages (and even a few dogs), were enjoying bubbles and games on what was a beautiful, sunny Saturday. [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/e2b5311f-0a04-f1…] [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/08ef4a41-fd0b-8f…] Next we headed up to DeWitt District Library’s event, which began by leading us along their StoryWalk® to a large site where they hope to build a new library. There we met with some friendly Llamas, face painting, and even more outdoor fun. I had arrived just in time to overhear the lead librarian state that they’d run out of packets - there was an overwhelming show of support that day! Throughout my years as a public librarian, and now in my role as a state representative for the Collaborative Summer Library Program, I have always looked forward to summer library programming kick-off events. It is that time of the summer that all your planning and hard work has finally come to full fruition. Being a part of that excitement, where the kids and their families are so eager to register for summer reading, is very rewarding. And it is simply a thrill to watch the “CSLP Official Summer Library Programming!”<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd…> Facebook group as all of you share the photos and your hard work with one another. As the summer weeks get longer and hotter, I hope you all take the time to reflect on and to celebrate the collaborative efforts that make our summer library programs so beneficial to so many of the children, teens, and adults in our communities. May the joy of their summer reading energize you and bring you renewed excitement, year after year.
