Bailey, Rachel
Tomka, Pam. (2014) Unusual
Collections: Oddities and Necessities. ILA Reporter, Aug, 4-7.
Summary: This
article gives examples of libraries that provide unusual collections and
services to their patrons. Examples include cake pans, Halloween costumes, toys
and even fishing poles!
Evaluation: I
think this is a great idea, but wonder how some libraries could afford this
service. An early-childhood center in my community lets parents check out toys
from them. The problem is, they use a very loose system and have a hard time
keeping the toys in tact. This would be a great service for the libraries in my
community to use since there are a lot of young children that frequent the
library.
