 Ok! We are now ready to plot our data. Since this data is monthly data, we can plot the circulation data over time.

-## Instructor note: Pandas 2.2.* bug
-There is a bug in the latest release of Pandas that is causing certain plots to display in a garbled manner. This is a [known issue](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/59960) that the Pandas team plans to address. In the meantime, learners and instructors can user older versions of pandas *or* add `.sort_index()` before any instance of `.plot()`. For example, use `albany['circulation'].sort_index().plot()` instead of `albany['circulation'].plot()`.

+At first, let’s focus on a specific branch. We can select the rows for the Albany Park branch and then use `.sort_index()` to be explicit that we want our data to be sorted in the order of the date index.
