Some ideas:
How about some of the issues involved in weeding or collection building?
Budget v currency, personal beliefs and predilections v balance, what
exactly is 'non-curriculum' (can you justify buying graphic novels or car
magazines as promoting reading?).
How edgy can you go in a booktalk or in collection building? How do you
follow 'local standards and sensitivity' in a mobile society or accommodate
a wide range of reading levels, interests, ages, etc?
Balancing reading literacy promotion and information literacy
promotion/teaching?
