The annual circulation report shows that the number of initial checkouts — not counting renewals — fell to 23,207 in the 2018-19 academic year, a 19% decline from 28,653 in the 2017-18 academic year.
The 19% year-over-year decline, which came about after the removal of books from Mullins, was more than double the previous year’s decline of about 7%, when new circulations fell to 28,653 in 2017-18 from 30,765 in the 2016-17 academic year.
