After an informal poll of librarians on PUBYAC on the IFLS Youth Services listserv, I took a peek at the multiple holds list generated by our shared catalog. What follows are titles that came up several times in the poll or came up with lots of holds. Check your shelves. Do you agree, are these popular? Do you own them? If not, maybe it’s time to try them, or consider buying more copies!
Note: not a scientific poll by any means! Just a little something that might be helpful…
