i 9,054 books were cir-
| culated from the Back
~ Mountain Memorial
Library inJuly of 1981. It
. seems to be a question of,
‘Can you top this?’,
circulation figure of 8,713
beat last years record and
now, July 1 has been
recorded as the highest
monthly circulation in the
history of the library.
Circulation in March
1963 was 7,276 books, a
record: held for many
years until 1979, when the
library started to: break
records every year.
Having worked at the
library now for fourteen
years and being the chief
statistician, so to speak, I
never really expected to
see the day we would
circulate 9,000 books in a
one month period. all of
this even though the
library is closed Satur-
days for June and July
and is also closed two
nights ‘a week.
~ Now, for the sad news.
As far as we can tell at the.
moment, with . the
. preliminary financial
auction did not meet its
hoped for gross figure.
We can blame it on in-
flation, garage sales, heat
and humidity; too many
other activities at “the
same time, or whatever
else comes up. Our
heartfelt ‘thanks to the
many hard-working
volunteers who run this
auction every year for
their dedication.
Another area which we
are still hoping will meet
its' goal is the annual
‘Friends of the Library’
campaign. Our ther-
mometer ‘goal chart,
which hangs in the front of
the library, stands at
$2,719 as of July 24 and our
budgeted goal is $3,000.
Hopefully, we have some
friends out there who
would like to get in on our
1981 bandwagon.
The library will return
to. winter hours on
Saturday, Sept. 5, which
means we will again be
open on Saturdays from
9:30 to 5:30 and Monday
and Wednesday evenings
in the main building until
8:30. The Collectors
Group will meet in the
main library on Wed-
nesday, Aug. 26 at 7:30.
New books at the library:
“Red Star in Orbit” by
James Oberg in the inside
story of Soviet failures
and triumphs in space. It
is a fascinating and often
surprising story of the
Soviet space effort. The
book gives an inside look
at the secrecy-shrouded
Russian space program.
‘“Gorky Park’ by
Martin Cruz Smith is a
novel whose plot is so
original, atmosphere so
authentine, characters so
vivid, execution so skillful
and premise so true that it
reverberates long after
the reader has finished its
last page. A story with
many devious twists and
turns. One thing is cer-
tain in this hectic modern
live of ours. One must
know more than his
grandfather or father did-
-just to keep abreast of the
many new inventions,
technological changes,
political ideas, and social
developments of every
day life.
