All 3 categories show a slight uptick in 2015 compared to the previous year.
- 1.4% - print
- 0.3% - audiovisual
- 1.5% - electronic
Book and serial volumes added has decreased 20/8% since its 2008 peak.
The gap between audio and video titles added per year continues to expand, which is a bit disappointing to me.
I can't remember the last time I checked out a video from a library. My primary sources for recorded music nowadays are Sirius/XM, Spotify, and Luxuria. On the other hand, I remain a big fan of books on CD, a physical format, and am currently listening to -- and greatly enjoying -- Anne Tyler's Vinegar Girl.
