We can disagree with others who feel that certain genres such as YA Lit are not appropriate for adults, however, if the book is not being checked-out or read by that community, is it not meeting a community need? Perhaps not. It can be a tricky subject to tackle but you're right about collection development, especially in terms of which volumes, series, etc... to complete and which ones not to continue acquiring. Especially when you are trying to make sure the library possesses a diverse and as complete of a collection, as possible. Once one can settle in a focus on and get a good feel about your community's wants and needs, you can better understand them and ascertain their reading wants.

Displays mean exposure. We can help patrons discover so much that they would never have otherwise known about. I think it's perfectly fine to include all sorts of things in displays - as long as you can tie all the items together somehow. So there's no reason why a display can't include YA, adult, DVDs, audio, graphic novels, etc - all in one display :) JodiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719903972620203349noreply@blogger.com
