Member libraries share the CTLS collection of more than 3,000 large print books through both a circuit and a deposit collection program. The circulation of large print books increases the variety of reading materials available to visually impaired patrons. 5 for 5 Large Print Circuit
11/20/2006
CTLS is working on weeding and updating the Large Print Circuit Collections. Our goal is for each Circuit packet to contain only RECENT books (i.e. copyright 3 years ago or less). We have lots of great books here in the office, waiting for your patrons!
We want the older books back, to reprocess for replacement Deposit Collections. Many of the Deposit Collections should be swapped out this year, for more recent titles. And the way we get new books for the Deposit collections is to retire Circuit books which are no longer recent.
So we’d like to swap 5 new books for 5 you already have in your circuit packet. You should swap out not only worn or damaged books, but also books published before 2004, and titles which are just not circulating.
If you mail 5 Large Print Circuit books to CTLS, we’ll swap them for 5 new ones. Remember, this applies ONLY to Circuit, not Deposit books. If you want to switch out your entire Deposit collection, call Andrea Golden at (800) 262-4431 X 10 and she’ll tell you what to do.
We’re excited to be able to offer these fabulous books to your customers. There are lots of great new titles - mysteries, romance, suspense/thrillers, westerns and a good selection of general fiction by well-known authors. So don’t hesitate; send us your gently aged & worn Circuit books - you won’t be sorry!
