Free Book Looking for a Home
by Jonesville District Library 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Hi all; We had a copy of "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss donated to us that is in a different language (no English). When we scan the ISBN on the back, it comes up as Hebrew. We would love to re-home this book to a library that could use a Hebrew language book. The book is a hardcover and in very nice used condition. Thank you, -Laura Orlowski, director Jonesville District Library 517-849-9701 jonesville(a)monroe.lib.mi.us

Childrens Books
by Zac Larson 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Hello, We are looking at making some changes to children's section. I would like to know what other libraries do with books that involve characters like Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, Fancy Nancy, SpongeBob, and holiday books specifically Christmas books. For the most part, we are looking at just changing the call numbers for these books. That way books that are about "Dora the explorer" are all together and not spread all over because we currently shelve by author. Any input would be greatly appreciated! And one other thing, would you put the holiday books and character books before books shelved by author or just mix them all in? Thank you, Zac Larson Collection Development Devereaux Memorial Library 201 Plum Street Grayling, Michigan 49738 Phone: 989-348-9214 Ext. 203 Fax: 989-348-9294 Frederic Community Library 6470 Manistee Street, Suite B Frederic, Michigan 49733 Phone: 989-348-4067 Fax: 989-344-0224 [cid:463fe2be-2355-4e35-87d3-f46a47ffe43e]
