Summer Shifting & More


It's summer ☀️

You know what that means ...
🚧Pardon the noise.🚧

We are making adjustments to stack size and location, shifting collections for better access, and weeding dated and damaged materials along the way.

Phase one is complete and it includes making use of space gained.

We aren't quite dancing on the ceiling, but ...

• There's more room around each cafe table.
• Curriculum texts were weeded & shifted
• Activity Books were weeded & shifted

Next up? Caldecott, Newbery, Big Books, and juvenile oversized.

We're working!
