[LM_NET] ELEM: Pokemon, Spongebob, etc... do you have these? why or why not?

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna.newsong@RCN.COM>]

I have at least a few of most the TV takeoff fad books.  I hate them,
but when kids that won't pick up anything else dive for them, I
figure it is worth it.  But as I am putting some Spongebob books in
the catalog that were donated (I refuse to spend money on these), I'm
wondering if I need to have quite so many.  And then I argue with
myself that the fad fades if you let it run out....Goosebumps are not
the hot item, but they were on our "One at a Time" list when I
started at Woodland.

I'd like to hear other people's thinking on this.  What place, if
any, do these books have in your library?
