How can you increase circulation without renovating space? This session describes analysis and experiments with merchandising and analysis drawn from retail stores to increase circulation. Examples drawn from large, small, urban and rural libraries.
Before each experiment, you must complete a lab inspection. Are conditions safe? Is the right equipment available, maintained, and calibrated? Are emergency procedures in place if something goes wrong? Supporting creativity in libraries is no different. This presentation provides best practices for supporting creativity in libraries, including examples and challenges.
Virginia Beach Public Library’s experience, lessons learned, process, and continued assessment and use of floating collections. A timeline from start to present state will address how collections, services, and process has changed along the way, up to and including the work of a 2024 process assessment team.
