Summary:
This article focuses on the periodical collection in the Public Library
of Cincinnati and Hamilton County (PLCHC). The periodical collection
attracts many students and business people, and it includes magazines and
newspapers, but the scope of the paper focuses on multiple groups that
would benefit from the collection. The article also covers budgets and
weeding projects, which served as a great frame of reference when studying
the children's collection at my public library. I like that this article shared its
budget for this collection and explained the plans they undertook when there
were budget cuts and a lack of budget statistics. It was difficult to understand
the budget for my library since reports focus on the county system, but an article
like this puts things in perspective.
