If you just counted Circ ID, that would include renewals, as each
renewal causes a new row in the circ table.

You could filter them out (doesn't sound like you want to) with the
fields previously mentioned (or, you could filter them out based on
the Parent Circulation field, since original circs and their renewals
are linked through that).
