Tween Collection
by Jessica Wilhoite 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi all, I know this has been discussed before, but I am investigating starting a tween/middle school (better name?) collection and need input. * Did you take books from existing J/Teen collections and create a Tween collection or did you start from scratch? * Have your circ stats increased from books that were moved over, if you used books in your existing collection? * Feedback from patrons (positive or negative)? * If you have a collection, do you separate the books or keep them interfiled with a tween sticker on the spine? * Do you find that there are too many places to send patrons looking for materials? (This was a question brought to me when I said I wanted to investigate this collection) * Procedure for your processing staff on how to determine what goes in tween? * Anything else you can think of that might be relevant/helpful? I will compile the responses for anyone who wants them. Thanks! Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

MCLS Third Thursday Twitter Chat Libraries Read: 1 Book Discussion Join us today, Thursday, July 19, at 2pm Eastern (1pm Central) for our Third Thursday Twitter Chat. We will be discussing the winning title from this year’s Libraries Read: 1 Book votes, When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. According to GoodReads<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34964998-when-they-call-you-a-terrorist>, this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable." Those who submitted the title for consideration felt it would be a fantastic point to bring this conversation into the libraries, and to help us better understand the communities that we serve.

**please excuse cross-posting - casting a wide net** Hello! I'm gathering information on counting in-house use for statistical purposes. Do you count in-house use at your library? How do you do it? Do you mark the materials used in the ILS? If so, which ILS do you use? Some other method? If so, please describe. What class size is your library? I'd also welcome any other information you're willing to share on counting in-house use. Please answer off-list. I can compile and post the results if others are interested. Thanks so much!
