Target: paper back books

[Deborah Anderson <andersondeb2001@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi all,

I am starting my first year as a media specialist in a
K-5 elementary school in Florida. This media center is
in need of some tender loving care for sure.  We have
a fair number of paper back books in the collection.
The media assistant and previous media specialist had
been shelving the paper back books in a separate
section of shelves. I'm not quite sure why they did it
that way except to keep same format together.  These
books are in the catalog with a PB notation.

After a brief look through the collection, I realized
that some of the paper backs are more current ( and
sometimes in better shape) than the hard backs and
some are just duplicates.I want to shelve the paper
backs back into the regular fiction collection and
maybe leave the picture books in a bin for browsing
until they get too beat up.

I would like to hear how others handle paper backs in
the library collection and/or advice about handling
paper backs.

Thanks
