Jefferson County Library Children鈥檚 Collection Proposal

The Children鈥檚 collection is tight on the shelves, with a distribution of shelf space that doesn鈥檛 reflect patron usage. The sponsor organization would like to increase engagement with early literacy resources, and reduce the prominence of the DVD collection. Patrons have also indicated frustration when their kids are distracted by the library computer terminal, which pulls them away from books or interactions with peers. My proposal will address these concerns with a collection guide for reduction and relocation of library materials to increase engagement, recommendations for budget tracking, and considerations to create areas for groups away from the computer bay.
