It Takes a Village (of library staff)

Hello, Everyone
Welcome to Friday.
I've been weeding fiction at the Northside Library and I'm finding books that are in terrible condition. We have a very large collection, and I can't promise that we'll be able to get into the stacks and weed every section every year, so I'm going to ask for all of you to help. If you see a book returned in poor condition, please set it aside and ask one of the librarians on staff to make the call about replacing it or removing it from the collection. Dirty, smelly, stained books make their shelf neighbors dirty and smelly, and makes some people hesitant to use a library. With the buzz in the newspaper about bed bugs, we need to put our best foot forward to quell any public fears. Our professional staff has done a very impressive job collecting the best literature the world has to offer. Together we can make sure it appeals to our patrons.
Thanks!
Barb
