Mashpee Public Library <br /> P.o. Box'657 i <br /> Mashpee, Ma 02649 <br /> Circulation for December 2905 totaled 8,924 iters, 1,909 items more than last <br /> December. ear-to-date, circulation is 62,934 items which is 9% more than the <br /> same period last year. We have passed seve' ral libraries in year--to-date <br /> transactions and are now. the sixth busiest library on tine cape. Those, that <br /> exceed our totals are considerably larger than Mashpee. It was somewhat <br />'.' surprising that December was so busy since that is traditionally a slow month. � <br /> .the number of transactions is more like the amount we used to do in September <br /> or June of a few years ago. During the month, 55 library cards were issued to <br /> new borrowers. <br /> .1 have continued working on weeding the fiction collection in preparation for <br /> moving and storing. I'm about half gray through the project. Lauren has been <br /> working in conjunction with Mme, shifting the contents of the shelves to even out <br /> the.number of iters per shelf. She also relocated the spoken CDs to the en of <br /> the first stack of fiction. We had been using a ,spinner rack to house them but <br /> they had out-grown -the space. since this is an actively growing pert of the <br /> collection,,the new location gives the collection space to grow. <br /> Bridget,has been wring on a similar project in the non-fiction collection. she <br /> has weeded and in some case re-cataloged the cookbook section. Wehave <br /> been - through a couple of catalogers the last decade and -thea have been <br /> variations in how things were classified. Bridget has grouped liked items <br /> together such as the diet cookbooks s to make it easier for patrons to browse all <br /> items. she's also been working on emptying out the storage room of extra copies <br /> of popular titles. We had been storing donated copies of best-sellers to use to <br /> replace worn library copies. That Inas worked well in the past but we don't brant to <br /> move or have to store extra copies during construction. Bridget has exchanged <br /> copies where needed and the rest will go into the book sale. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> ti <br />
