About the Library
In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us to swim.

LIBRARY POLICY MANUAL
Often, policies, procedures, and rules are viewed in a negative light; anyone who makes them or enforces them is viewed as stuffy and no fun. However, without policies and procedures, unproductivity would be the order of the day, customer service would be hindered, and a positive library experience would be a random occurrence, at best. Therefore, the ability to develop and administer the programs and processes of the library is an essential skill of the librarian. Click below to download the Library Policy Manual.

WEED AND FEED
Why remove books from the library shelves?
In order to maintain a "healthy" library, much like a garden, weeding outdated, unnecessary, damaged, and well-loved (worn out) books is essential. I feel that my patrons deserve the best collection of books and materials possible, print, non-print, and digital. Books that no longer meet the high standards of this library are retired and replaced, if possible, with material that is similar in content and age/grade level, with a current copyright date. Please visit our WEED & FEED Website by clicking the button below. (Co-created with Kim Kelton & Christy Viviano.)
