-6.8%

We've seen a drop of 6.8% in circulation of books over the same period in 2022 vs 2023.Possible explanations for the decrease include the closure of the media center for the 2023 spring semester, the delay of opening the media center for check-outs due to library redesign and return of materials, and the need for more current books.
