Most school systems accidentally make reading a dreadful activity as the texts are tied to rote learning of facts and events for exam purposes

The big five publishers don't seem to care about declining reading rates and continue to put out the same five or six types of books bc they don't know how to market anything else

Ebooks don't retail for competitive prices, both compared to hard copy books and to other media

    Do what the fund managers do and set a % range for books unread in your library - no more than 30% no less than 20, perhaps

    Cycle volumes in and out. Gotta close that loop. Then each year do a count to monitor growth and shelving needs
