― Louis L'Amour, Education of a Wandering Man
In the library, "circulation" means a lot of things. What's sometimes called the "library card desk" is also known as "circulation". When we look at a book's record, we count how many times it has checked out as its "circs". The library's collection floats (items checked out at one branch and returned at another stay at the branch at which they are returned), but its items circulate.
Are you ever curious about which titles get checked out the most in the library system? We've generated a couple of lists of the top circulating authors for kids and young adults in the last couple of months. If they are authors of a popular series or a currently trending title, we have noted that in brackets next to their name.
From April 2014:
