My original target (several weeks ago) was to locate the most popular non-fiction titles at the high school level. I had many requests for a hit and a few excellent suggestions but I was hoping for a broader base of input. Now that we have been joined in the school year by more of the country, I am reposting my refined request-- REFINED REQUEST: I am getting more requests for a hit than ideas. I was wondering if some of you could run circ reports on non-fiction, like the excellent list for the top secondary reads posted by Jo Lewis awhile back (fiction but for Dave Pelzer's books). I do think high school students will still read non- fiction books as recreational reading. I will compile the results and post a hit. I ran reports in my catalog and came up with the following top checkouts (keep in mind my collection is in need of improvement!) 000s-Guiness Book of World Records 100s-Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 200s-no clear winner--numerous mythology books 300s-History of the U.S. Marine Corps (ROTC program here is Marines) 400s-Rhyming Dictionary of the English Language 500s-Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia 600s-Slowcooker Magic in Minutes (this one mystifies me) 700s-Draw 50 Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles 800s-Readings on the Canterbury Tales (English assignment) 900s-A Place to Hide / Jayne Pettit (which I am replacing as it is worn out) -- Cheryl Youse, MLS Media Specialist Colquitt County High School cyouse@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
