I got several requests for the responses. Attached are the responses I received with regards to Reference Sections. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mdyG0tKIG6j8o4CWVFTl3tMt_jHbk4Mv-WDz... Thank you all, who responded! Mary Gallup Director Clinton Township Public Library 100 Brown St. Clinton MI 49236 On Tue, Oct 17, 2023 at 12:04 PM Mary Gallup <director@clinton.lib.mi.us> wrote:
Let's talk Reference Section-
What does yours look like? About how many books do you have? How much shelf space do you devote to it?
We are a tiny Class I library with limited shelf space, and every single one of our Reference items is older than 10 years. I would like to (and have permission from my board president) ditch the entire section, but I was wondering what other libraries in the state are doing.
Thanks! Mary Gallup Director Clinton Township Public Library 100 Brown St. Clinton MI 49236
