Life Cycle of a Book |
Written by ARSL Advocacy Committee |
Thursday, June 27, 2024 10:49 AM |
New customizable resource for explaining the life cycle of a library book! Help your community understand the process of collection development and review at your library – especially the many ways that decisions are made locally, by local staff, with your community in mind. Use this Canva template to add details, your library logo and contact information – explaining how books are selected and purchased, how users access them, how they are weeded and what happens when someone makes a book challenge. As you customize the document, think about the information and choice of language that will help build your community’s confidence in its library during an era of frequent book challenges. All text within the document can be edited to accurately reflect your library's organizational structure and processes. This graphic may be especially helpful when speaking to concerned residents and local officials, as well as helping your board and staff understand their part in the process. Please note: this template is NOT for use in Wisconsin – Wisconsin libraries should contact the Wisconsin Library Association (WLA) for a similar flyer that is used statewide. ARSL thanks and acknowledges WLA for their gracious sharing of this document for local customization in other states. Template Design (click for full resolution): |
