Manchester City Library

With everyone moving things around, the Children’s Room didn’t want to be left out so, we made some changes. Bev, Alicia, Amy and I have been very busy the past couple of days. We have weeded some collections (Audio CD’s, VHS, magazines and Fiction) getting ready for the move. On Saturday, with some help from Liam, the shift (aka move) took place.

Here are all the changes:

• Magazines – we condensed them onto two shelves. Still in the same area.
• CD Picture Books – have been moved next to the magazines.
• Graphic Novels – have been moved the first section of the wooden shelves where the Children’s audio books used to be. It is under the security mirror.
• CD Audio Books – have been moved to the next two shelves after graphic novels. Basically, they have been moved down one shelving unit.
• Music CDs – have been moved to the next section of wooden shelves; next to CD Audio books.
• DVD – have been moved from the back wall to the next section of wooden shelves, next to the music CDs.
• VHS – have been weeded and moved to the last section of wooden shelves, right next to the DVDs.

All these changes have made a ‘Media Area’ in the children’s room. The old areas for these items only two maybe three people could look at DVDs or Videos. And if you wanted to look at a music CD and someone was using the Catalog, you were not able.

You are probably wondering about fiction, right? The fiction now starts were the DVDs used to be along the back wall. Then it snakes around to the shelves where the music cds were. The new flow is opposite of what it was.

Christmas books – now cover all the back shelves along the non fiction area. They have been spread out to where the Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s day books were.

Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s books – have been moved to the shelves above the state, WWI, WWII and American History books. They are just opposite of the other holiday books.

If you have any questions, please comment below. I tired to describe the best I could as to where these collections have been moved to in the room.
