Dear colleagues.
My problem is not unique, but I’m stumped and am reaching out for your assistance for any who can help. My library has good coverage of Sholom Aleichem: a few different “Best ofs” , a Treasury, and many story collections. MOST have never been borrowed, and I see that the most recently checked out book was in 2007! I serve a Reform Temple community, including a religious school, and a pre-school. We are not an archive – and I am generally clear-eyed about pulling books that are past their prime in terms of interest. Clearly, it’s time to significantly cut back, but WHICH ARE WORTH KEEPING? I am no Aleichem aficionado, but I do feel a responsibility to keep his name alive in the library by having one or two of his works on the shelf. Thank you for your help; I welcome any suggestions!
