sheet will include such information as the following: the number of new books
purchased, the average price and percentage of increase; the number of books pur-
chased with Hale County funds; standard collection size and our collection size;
percentage of circulation to out -of -city patrons; and the fact that the increase
in the City budget will be minimal cost -of -living only.
