Hello, all-

This is a problem I'm happy to have, but I'm stuck.  Last year we moved our
7-12 library into a new facility that is much larger than our old facility,
so there are quite a few empty shelves.  We planned to grow into the space
over the next few years.

Recently, our superintendent mentioned that she is irritated that the first
comment people make when they see our beautiful new space is, "Boy, you
don't have many books, do you?"  So, she's giving me $3000 to fill in the
shelves.

The problem is 300 or so books won't begin to fill the wall of empty
shelves, which is in the back of the library.  The only solution I can think
of is to display some special collections on those shelves.  I have a
separate graphic novels section that I will move over and a professional
development section for teachers that I will also move over.  I have
separate areas built in for reference and new arrivals that I can't move.

Can you think of other special collections that I could more or less
permanently display away from the main fiction and non-fiction sections?
All ideas appreciated.

Thank you-
