North Shelby Library
North Shelby Library, Birmingham, Ala
About
For several years, the North Shelby Library was forced to adopt a very conservative spending plan and purchased only items that were deemed extremely necessary. This led to a shortage of quality materials
within the children’s department. The Bookapalooza collection will allow early literacy programming to continue as well as placing up-to-date materials in the juvenile collection. Materials will be heavily promoted by turning the children’s department into the “Bookapalooza Headquarters,” and patrons will be made aware of the new items through flyers, “spotlight” on new items and features in the library newsletter. With the large amount of programming and publicity offered at North Shelby Library, the Bookapalooza materials will be heavily circulated.
