I have moved the Cape Collection onto its own shelf unit in the reference area. At this point, dealing with the space I have and the materials I have, that was the only way to increase visibility, which was a concern for some. At some point it will have to move again to accommodate growth, but I'm confident we can get at least another two years in its current location.
The SALTIES collection will be moving to the short set of shelves near the public printer as soon as we get the new labels on them. There should be a good amount of room for expansion there.
After that move is complete, I will start planning a re-training of volunteers to address proper shelving technique.

Echo Culturels French Collection
Echo Culturels has donated a collection of French-language books - both fiction and instruction. Lisa is working on getting the collection cataloged, and some are already on the shelves. The collection will be its own collection, and for now is located on the wooden bookcase at the end of the 300-400 range in nonfiction (right near the computers). The SPINE LABEL starts with FL, which stands for Foreign Language, and the books should all be shelved on that wooden bookcase.
Cape Cod Salties Collection
The Salties collection is now its own entity, and has been moved to the set of shelves next to the Cape Cod Collection. We have ordered yellow label covers (like the blue ones for the Cape collection) and that will be what helps the shelvers put the book in the right place. Also, we will be moving any Salties videos and DVDs into the collection.
