Work in Progress! Updates to The Story Center Collection

At the beginning of this year, I wrote a blog post regarding our plans for exciting updates to The Story Center collection. I’m happy to report that since that post, we have successfully added 50 new titles to our collection, covering a wide range of topics and content for all ages of readers, writers, performers, and creators. While you’re browsing our collection inside the Woodneath Library Center, check out the tiered wooden tower highlighting the new titles available for check-out. Don’t be surprised if you see some empty bookstands – these books move quickly! If you’re unable to make it to Woodneath, not to worry, this link below will take you to a list of all our newly added titles for you to browse at your convenience!

As I mentioned in the previous blog, another way we are updating The Story Center collection is by reviewing all items throughout the collection to determine if new spine labels are needed. Our goal is to make the entire collection easy to browse for inspiration or navigate when searching for specific titles. Progress is already being made, and you can tell in the picture below what a positive impact it makes!

As the initial new purchases now circulate through the hands of our customers and the collection becomes easier to navigate, we will continue working on ways to more strategically and purposefully align the collection with our mission at The Story Center, “To help people create stories, share those stories, and connect with the stories of others.” We hope you’ll take the time to check out our work in progress, attend Story Center programming, or pop into the historic Woodneath home for a visit! If you have any title or material suggestions for The Story Center collection, please email me at LGezich@mymcpl.org.
