      Steve,

      The audiobook graph was created after this post, so it’s on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.509030982452798.111217.190132627675970&type=1

        I looked at the Facebook link you gave me. The Top 10 Music CD’s Chart is not on there. Arlingtonians are still checking out music CD’s all of the time so, it deserved a chart, too.

          I misunderstood what you meant by CDs, so you are correct – we did not post a graph for CDs. We’ll try to include them the next time we post our statistics.
