COVER STORY

Late last year, the Library received a great question about the Liberty Branch Library. This little reader wanted to know how we fill a brand new library with books?

And the short answer is that we buy most of them. We have a great team of librarians who look at our system-wide collection and decided what needs to be added to make our awesome collection even better. Then we order them from our vendors (primarily Baker & Taylor books).

That’s where our cover models come in. Our fantastic Technical Services department receives the many, many, many boxes of items for the new library and they get to work! Eliss, Tom, Kyle, and Regie take those books, movies, games, and more and prep them to get out on the shelves for you to peruse.

For more about how the Technical Services Department adds book to the DCDL system, see page 9.
