board books that are based on or are new editions of picture book versions.We are not precious about our board-book collection at the library (as a public library, we serve all our patrons, including those looking for board books meant to teach babies coding, or yoga) and tend to have some of everything: Many copies hardly survive a year, yet the board books garner enough in-library attention and out-of-library circulation during their brief lifespans to justify their purchase. While those cardboard pages are tough, their target audience ultimately proves tougher. The books circulate more than eight times a year on average, going out for up to four weeks at a time. We buy twenty to thirty new or replacement board books every week in our book order, and we own about fourteen hundred of them at any given time, yet some days the board-book bin is empty. It is a mess, yes - but also, if you squint, you get a vision of a new generation of readers. Crawling babies can see, touch, smell, listen to, and taste them best there. We start the morning with all the board books in the bin and try to corral them back periodically throughout the day, but mostly these books reside all over the children’s room floor. A board book can be stomped on, spilled on, thrown across the room, tasted, and then returned to the library pretty much in the same shape it left in. A board book can absorb a lot more hard use than a hardcover picture book can, which is a draw for new parents nervous about borrowing library books. They peek in or grab at the sturdy books that are just right for their tiny hands. Pre-walkers use the bin’s edge to pull themselves up to a standing position. We keep the books jumbled in a long wooden bin that sits low to the floor on a cozy rug. ”Glow with Markette Sheppard” is the podcast companion to Glow Stream TV.The parents, caregivers, and babies who visit the main branch of my public library love board books.
