Within every library collection lie hidden treasures,
temporarily "lost" or simply unnoticed books and resources just
waiting to be rediscovered. A Special Collection of Children's
Literature in Your Library shows you how to unearth and share these
valuable items with interested patrons.
ALSC and Dolores Blythe Jones, curator of the renowned de
Grummond Children's Literature Collection at the University of
Southern Mississippi, have assembled in one place the leading
special collection librarians to create a guide on finding and
sharing a library's secret treasures. Experts explain the benefits
of creating a special collection, no matter how small, which can
add to the fun and excitement often missing from the everyday tasks
of a librarian. They point out the tremendous publicity to be
generated by unique titles in your collection, which can increase
your library's stature in the community -- not only do friends
groups love special collections, but so do donors!
In this engaging resource, curators and staff of established
special collections dole out advice that extends beyond books -- to
toys, comics, and even audiovisual materials for children. They
expound on every aspect of maintaining a collection, from
fundraising and achieving financial goals to establishingpolicies
and making the collection accessible.
