“Knowledge is like money: To be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.”
― 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.

For this second genre post, we've chosen to feature the top circulating adult books system-wide from three fiction genres, as of July 8, 2016. Mystery still holds its own as the most popular genre in the top circulating fiction books system-wide, but we found the top ten for a couple of other genres - although two of those genres seem to be dominated by one or two (and in one case, related) authors!
