I have an inquisitive, curious building admin who would like to know what print, fiction circulation numbers are like at high school libraries similar to our school's enrollment (approx. 1,400 students) and in our geographic area (Farmington Valley, Hartford County).

For context, we've circulated about 500 fiction titles in print to students and staff this year (2018-19). This is about the same number of similar circulations as last school year (2017-18) for us. I think this admin wants to know if this is typical of other high schools like ours, in order to gauge the level of student interest in reading through this medium.

If you have the available time and will to generate these stats (2017-18 compared to 2018-19 would suffice), and don't mind sharing them with me to share with my curious admin, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for your consideration, and thanks for all you do!

Best,
