Collections staff work in concert with branch staff to develop the collection. The Collection Development Office coordinates the ordering of such items as bestsellers, award winners and travel books. Branch staff members serve as subject specialists, ordering materials for the system in assigned areas and suggesting titles for purchase in all areas. Our collection is designed to support life-long and independent learners. Materials are purchased to target the reading level of a general audience and include popular materials, as well as a strong retrospective collection.
Material is purchased in a variety of formats.
Currently, the collection contains books, audio books, CDs, videos, DVDs and electronic books. Administrative Services Excellent library service requires excellent support.
