Nobody Knows Why

The users of our different branches are often very different in their tastes. As usual, all five of the Main Library's circulating copies of The Myth of Santa Fe: creating a modern regional tradition by Chris Wilson are checked out. None of the four branch library copies are out. As usual, almost all of Main's Charles Bukowski titles are out; but there are a lot in at La Farge. More science fiction goes out at La Farge. In proportion, Bookstop readers read a lot more fiction than either of the other branches.
      What brought this to mind was a donated copy of The Myth of Santa Fe, which I set down on the counter top for a minute en route to be processed. Immediately someone picked it up and wanted to know when they could check it out...
