We recently weeded our non-fiction collection and shifted things a bit to make more room in fiction. It is a school library, after all, and by far our fiction collection gets the most action. The shelves are so pretty now, with room for expansion and display. I occasionally visit those stacks just to delight in a job well done.
As I shifted the Frances Hodgson Burnetts and the Hilary McKays and the J.K Rowlings, there were the odd adult authors -- Tolstoy and Steinbeck and Bronte. It occurred to me that these shelf hogs are taking up valuable real estate! If we bought them through Overdrive, our digital content provider, we would have them to read and we get shelf space for more great children's literature -- win, win.
Do you use an ereader? Have you checked out our catalog online? It includes our physical collection as well as the Overdrive titles. See a librarian to learn how to download our digital content.
