Subject: Acquisitions question for a small public library

Hello,

I’m hoping to gain your collective wisdom. We are a small library 
(serving 11,000),
with 3 full-time Librarians and several part-time Librarians. Are 
collection development
responsibilities and acquisitions reside with the part-time Librarians. 
We are in the process
of shifting responsibilities (or transferring/sharing collection 
development to help with the
workload). Are any of you in a similar position, or have similar 
staffing? How do you handle
your collection development? Thanks so much in advance for any 
experience and wisdom
you can share.

Polly
