Was children book circulation also down ?
From: Susan Kusel via Hasafran Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2022 8:40 AM To: Hasafran; Andrea Rapp Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Covid and circulation Circulation in my synagogue library is definitely way down. COVID is absolutely the reason. A lot of things that draw patrons have been virtual such as Shabbat services, religious school, adult education, social events like book clubs and mahjong... even funerals, etc. And there are fewer people in the building in general, including staff, who also check out books. But I do feel like my circulation is just starting to revive. It's so nice to see books checked out and to see patrons again. -Susan Susan Kusel Librarian Temple Rodef Shalom 2100 Westmoreland Street Falls Church, VA 22043 (703) 676-3851 sku...@templerodefshalom.org From: Hasafran <hasafran-bounces+skusel=templerodefshalom....@lists.osu.edu> on behalf of Andrea Rapp via Hasafran <hasafran@lists.osu.edu> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2022 9:54 AM To: Hasafran <hasafran@lists.osu.edu> Subject: [ha-Safran] Covid and circulation Just ran some figures. Circulation in our synagogue library declined 3/4 this past 12 month period as opposed to the 12 months before covid. Any thoughts? Have other synagogue/temple libraries (not day school libraries--that's different) found the same? Andrea Rapp, Isaac M. Wise Temple
