Changes! Where did it go?

Scott Library is small. And since it is small we need to shift the collection around to accommodate changes. And changes there are! Click here for a .pdf of the latest layout.

In a nutshell what moved and where it went.

Spine Label Code Now where to find it...
HINDI DVDs By the window at the end of the computer tables.
REF (Reference) All reference material is now inter-filed with the main collection. And it circulates. There are a FEW items which are special cases. The spine labels are being changed to drop the REF.
PA (Pennsylvania) All Pennsylvania material is now inter-filed with the main collection. And it circulates. The spine labels are being changed to drop the PA.

741.5 or GRAPHIC

(Graphic Novels)

They are now in the low book shelf at the end of the computers and by the work tables. The spine labels are being changed to start with GRAPHIC.
NEW All the new items recently added to the collection are now located at the end of the stacks. There are 4 "end-caps" each one has a different "New" section. When looking at the stacks from the front door, starting on the left side: NEW LP (Large Print), NEW FIC (Fiction), NEW ###.## (Non-Fiction), NEW YA.

Can't find it? ASK A LIBRARIAN! We will be glad to show you where things are!
