The rotating black bookstand in the library is more than just a place to find books; it's an ever-changing display that reflects the interests and needs of our community. Every month, the library staff carefully selects books to feature on this stand, ensuring there's always something fresh and relevant for everyone to explore. The displayed themes often align with the current sports seasons, cultural celebrations as designated by the American Association of School Librarians, educational topics being discussed in classes, newly acquired books, and even some old favorites that deserve more attention.
Given the library's limited space and the acquisition of new books, it’s necessary to periodically review and weed out books that haven't been checked out in a while. Before being permanently removed from the collection, these books are displayed on the rotating bookstand, offering them a final opportunity to be discovered and enjoyed. Following our District practices, any books that are eventually weeded out are first offered to the community for free, and then donated to a used book seller, ensuring they find a new home.
Currently, the bookstand features an exciting array of books:
1. Soccer and football books to coincide with the fall sports season.
2. A selection of books celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
3. An assortment of Hispanic folktales that offer a glimpse into rich cultural stories.
4. A new collection of cookbooks, reflecting the community's interest as revealed by our recent survey.
Next time you're at the library, don't forget to stop by the rotating black bookstand. It's a great way to stay updated on what's new and exciting, and you might just discover your next favorite book!
