Collection Management: How to Select Leisure Reading Material

Contact the Leisure Reading librarian (currently Caitlyn Stypa) to ask about participating in Leisure Reading selection, help with selecting, or suggestions.

1. Contact the Leisure Reading librarian to be placed on the selection schedule.
2. Choose ten titles.
3. Make sure books are in print. Amazon or Barnes and Noble may be a good way to check.
4. Check the library catalog to make sure the library does not already have the book in print format. If the title is in the collection only as an e-book, OK to order a print copy.
5. Enter the titles on the Leisure Reading Selection form.
6. Notify the Leisure Reading librarian when you have filled out the form.
7. You can also get a form as a regular Excel file from the Leisure Reading librarian, fill it out, and send it back.

Thank you for selecting!

The library welcomes suggestions for the collection, but titles are not guaranteed to be purchased. Selections are vetted by LCC librarians. See the LCC Library Collection Development guidelines for more information.
