Dear Anne,
Trinity School has 165 students on 2 campuses, Preschool through G5
We have approximately 17,000 books evenly divided between fiction and
nonfiction; more than 5000 books are shelved in 10 classrooms; the actual
number shifts as books and projects come and go.
I have approximately 1000 books in circulation off campus with students and
parents. I check books in 2 or 3 times a week
I am constantly weeding as well as buying new books; I have a new online
catalog and have not had time to create monthly reports this fall.
I have no ebooks except a Tumble Book subscription. I have no data bases;
students use their public libraries and other online resources.
Shelving is a constant struggle; I count on circulation of books to reduce
the stress.
Joan Young can tell you a little more about the Trinity Library. I am a
little bit non-traditional; and the fact that we only go to G5 affects my
responses to collection management issues. I also double, and triple stack
my older fiction books. Painful, but keeps duplicate copies in the library
rather than in basement storage.
You are welcome to visit if it would help; good luck, Becky Zeren,
Librarian, Trinity School
