Collection Management and Development

Finding the right books can take a lot of your precious time. Sure, bestsellers are a bit of a no-brainer, but the difficulty comes when filtering out the best from what’s left over. We help libraries do all this and more so they can spend more time getting to know their community instead of stressing over collections lists.
