[LM_NET] TARGET: SEC-must have non-fiction books-REPOST

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

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)
