#collection development

Hello you lovely internet queers of all kinds,

As you probably know if you follow us, we are currently building our inaugural digital collection, and we are working hard to make sure that it represents and fills the needs of our patrons. To that end, we would love to get some input from you! If you have 5 minutes to answer a few questions, we would be so grateful if you took our Collection Development survey: https://forms.gle/CXJ2uncyDMDr7p1T8.

If there are other people who you can think of that might be interested in QLL, especially people who you can see signing up for a library card with us when we launch, feel free to forward them the survey as well!

I Spit on Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies

I'm a librarian for a K-5 school (K-6 as of next year), so anything for ages 5 to 12 or so would be greatly appreciated.

For the last several weeks, our usually crowded YA fiction section has been ABSOLUTELY PACKED. There are so many YA FIC books here right now that a lot of them can't even fit on the shelf at all. Plus, during the summer we don't get as many teens coming to the library, which means that fewer books are getting checked out!

This means it's time for another YA Weeding Project! I'll be spending the next few weeks whittling down our collection because of age, condition, low circulation, multiple copies, etc.
