In many cases, the copyright date determines how long the work will be protected (in other cases, it has more to do with the date of death of the author). For non-fiction works, the copyright date is an easy way to tell if the information is reasonably current.
The date listed in the copyright notice of a book is usually the date of first publication. Sometimes books are revised for later printings, however, and in such cases the date of first publication of the revised edition may be used. So, if a book was originally published in 2010 but revised in 2011 the copyright notice date for the revised edition may be 2011.
"Julie of the Wolves" by Jean Craighead George was originally published in 1972, so the copyright date would likely be around that time.

Well, honey, the copyright date for "Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer is 2001. So, if you're planning on making copies and selling them out of the trunk of your car, you might want to think twice. But hey, at least you asked before getting yourself into some legal trouble, right?
