Extreme Makeover: YA Edition!

Hey there all! There have been some pretty cool changes in the YA collection room at the SPL in the past couple of days. Here are some pictures to show you some of the new things as well as the new look of the YA room.

When you enter...

You'll notice that the wooden shelving is no longer front and center. We have our new shelving unit which now holds all the paperbacks.


Look to your left....
This used to be where the Manga was stored. We decided to get rid of the Manga collection - the format (reading backwards) just went against everything we're used to reading. Now we have an expanded comics section. Note the new item addition on the right side, second shelf down. We have DVD-ROM comic book series - you can read complete comic book series on your computer! They are awesome. They check out for three weeks each.

Turn Around And Look to Your Right....

Of course I was just kidding about the Manga! We now have more room for Manga, and I am going to need your help updating the different series. They are no longer squashed together like they used to be!

Look a Little Bit More to Your Right....

The non-fiction now begins in the room itself - which is good. If you have seen the shelves lately, they have looked awful. Now there is a lot more room to browse. There are some great new titles too - not all awesome stuff is fiction!!


Other Pics...


Our fireplace looks a little different now that the Playaways moved over and the Manga were shifted.

Our new paperback shelving unit!


And here is the worst video I have ever made (It was made on a low-quality digital camera. It's better than nothing....barely.)
