Well I've finally managed to tally up the stats for our website visits this year and it's been a great one. We've had 828871 visitors through the front door of the website, striving for 1 million visitors in 2010.

2. 4 Kids Science

and number 1 is......................... Find a Library

Not really a huge surprise as one of the most common questions we get asked in the branches are the branch hours.

The 4 Kids website was extremely popular, especially 4 Kids Science, thanks to the support of schools around the world, curious young minds and recommendations from people such as Mrs Parrington at Mrs. Parrington Loves Science.

We also had 80840 searches on our Who Writes Like database, which is a very popular resource on the 'net. Who Writes Like is compiled by hand on genres and subgenres and we're always looking for more suggestions, particularly in the Fantasy & Science Fiction area. If you like to help you can contact me through the contact form on our website and let me know what genre you read.

I'm currently working on a new website for the library using a content management system so I can look at expanding the site and looking at new training opportunities for staff and members. We will continue to explore other means of reaching our members and trying to connect you with information or great books.
