All the titles from the "surprise cache" in the Teen/YA section are now worked into the existing non-fiction section. The surprise cache consisted of 5 shelves of 398.2 (fairy tales and folklore) then 4 shelves of various additional non-fiction from 400s - 900s. The original total range of 7 bookcases in the Teen/YA section also included 3 bookcases that held various classroom reading sets. This was covered in yesterday's posting.
Here are the pictures of the final completed sbookshelves in the non-fiction section. It is comprised of the 900s - 999.
Debbie S. ,the Nebinger Library liaison, stopped by. She was setting up for a meeting with prospective parents later tonight. I showed her the changes to all of the sections of the library and she was pleased.
I suggested to Debbie that, if there is sufficient funding, it would be great to purchase additional shelving for the Teen/YA section to make it into a u-shaped section of bookshelves, to house the anticipated growth of the Teen/YA collection. Debbie asked if i would be making a list of recommended books for that portion of the collection. She also asked if i was aware of any gaps in the collection. I told her I would have a clearer sense of this after I complete the cataloging portion of the project. I said would make those suggestions part of my final recommendations.
She said that the Follett Destiny webinar training is scheduled to take place early next week. She also hopes one scanner will be available by next week. The existing scanner has been pronounced unfixable by Bruce K. He tried, even going so far as to reach out to the scanner company, but even they could not help make it useable. She has also heard from Abby, the Home and School liaison, that her husband is happy to install shelving into the two closets available to house the classroom reading sets.
As I was leaving I saw Nadine, the principal, and she says the ticket has been submitted to create a Nebinger volunteer log-in for the computers. She is hopeful that it will be activated by the day of the training webinar.
Tomorrow I plan to start shelf-reading the middle grades ( 3-5) fiction section. There are 9 bookshelves, 8 of them are fairly full, so it may not get completed in on day.
