[Publib] Book rental plans for libraries

[cynthia organ]

 Hello, 

Our small rural library has used a book rental plan (200 books a yr) for the past 11 months.  I feel I still haven't used the plan most effectively, I haven't yet hit my groove with it.  Sometimes I get one copy of what I think our patrons will want, later I ask for 2 more.  Sometimes we will be keeping the books, sometimes I buy a few of the recommended titles through other sellers......I waffle month to month.

Do you just rent a few copies of a few best sellers to meet your quota?  Any ideas or input or your 'plan of attack' will be appreciated.

Thank you very much.
