Writing Task 1

This chart shows the breakdown of book loans from the Vancouver public library from 2003 to 2012. Adult fiction accounted for over half of loans each year, starting at nearly 60% in 2003 and sliding over the period to end at fractionally over 50%. Adult non-fiction was around 20% and was fairly steady from 2003 to 2010 before sharply rising to 24% in 2011. Children's books began marginally higher than adult non-fiction and deteriorated in the following years, mostly reducing adult fiction loans, until reaching 28% in 2007, then little change until declining to 25% in 2011 before recovering to 27% in 2012.
