We are having some serious space issues in the YS section. Please note that the Bio section is now split between two shelves. A-Ck are now at the end of non-ficton and the rest continue as normal. I weeded a large amount of the lengthy older bios to leave the shorter informational ones that kids really want. Signs will be posted at the top of the shelves to direct patrons and staff to the new layout.
We are also at 0% growth for our general paperbacks. I will only be able to add a select few and will have to weed one to add one.
Our big news will be the addition of graphic novels to our collection. Materials are arriving and the collection should be ready in about two weeks. We will be using J Comics as our call as to not confuse our patrons with the "graphic" call in YA. I am dusting off the old spinner racks in order to accomodate the new collection.
Neato ones like Superman and traditional heroes will be featured---but also look for Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Kid's Comic History and more to really add a spark to our collection. Jack is the resident expert on graphics---feel free to ask him questions as desired. Shan
