Our Media Coordinator took Convergence courses and a Wake Learns Course - Collection Management for School Library Media Coordinators - to help learn the best ways to revamp and update our Brassfield Collection Management Plan.
Staff was surveyed to help determine what would be the focus of our Collection Management Plan. Our media coordinator also discussed the plan with individual staff members. We had several MTAC meetings to educate our MTAC on the state of collection, to seek input as we developed the plan, to approve our plan, and to share progress made using the Collection Management Plan.
Having an updated Collection Management was extremely helpful as we decided which books to replace with the ESSER Funds, which areas to weed, and which areas to start improving with new purchases. We look forward to maintaining the plan to help motivate the continued support of the staff, students, and community so we have an updated Media Program and Collection that continually meets the curricular and leisure reading needs of our students and school.
