The staff and I have talked for the past few months about separating the children and adult nonfiction. It was getting more difficult for patrons to find age appropriate book easily so it was finally time to make the switch. What made the move much easier was that our circulation person, Mary K, has been weeding the collection most of the winter and when asked how it was going she said it was pretty much done.
Soooo yesterday afternoon Ingvild (children's librarian) and I took the plunge of taking the children's books out of the adult section. It got a little confusing as to where we placed the childrens vs the adult books. I even skipped a whole section of shelves and had to go back and make it right. It is still in the transition stage but hopefully today we will have it all done. Stop in and see the tranformation.
