[Publib] Advanced Reading Copies

[Margaret Neill]

We let staff get first crack at them and then put the rest out for the
public in a "free book" truck. Usually, it becomes a sort of lending
library of its own- people bring back older ARC and exchange them for
new ones. But we never, ever put them in the collection.

themselves, multiple the ways in which they exist, to make their life
full, significant, and interesting."

Hello, 

I'm a new director of a small town library, the acting director before
me, was including Advance Reading Copies of books in the current
collection.  These copies were donated to the library by the local
bookstore. I have pulled the books for the time being, but I'm not sure
what to do with them. Plus I have another box full of them. So the
question I'm posing after all this background info is... What does your
library do with these books?
