All, 




Library cooperative directors, please share this email with your member libraries. 





TLN is pleased to announce a new, statewide, pilot project for public libraries. Beginning October 1 , 2024, in conjunction with our vendor partner Brodart, TLN will offer three curated monthly collection development lists, one each of Adult Nonfiction, Juvenile/Tween, and Teen, free of charge to public libraries that wish to receive them . TLN member libraries have benefited from this service in the past and we are happy to extend this pilot to any public library in the state that may be interested. The lists, created by a TLN librarian with three+ decades of experience in this realm, generally consist of 400 to 500 Adult Nonfiction titles, 300 to 400 Juvenile/Tween titles, and 100 to 150 Teen titles. When available, multiple full text reviews from professional journals Booklist, Library Journal Pre-pub Alert, Library Journal, School Library Journal, Kirkus, Horn Book, Publisher's Weekly, and Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, will accompany the title to assist you in your collection development decision making process. Libraries can use the lists to quickly select titles and can easily place orders to Brodart for their desired titles with a click of a button. 




Attached is a PDF copy of the TLN Adult Order List dated September, 2024. We wanted libraries to be able to see a copy of an active list. 





If you would like to sign up for this exciting new statewide pilot project, please contact either Jim Flury at The Library Network, email [ mailto:jflury at tln.org | jflury at tln.org ] or Brodart's Michigan Library Services Consultant Kim Langenderfer, email [ mailto:Kim.Langenderfer at brodart.com | Kim.Langenderfer at brodart.com ] 





Libraries that already use the program through TLN do not have to sign up again. 





Please let Jim Flury know if you have any questions concerning this service, either via email [ mailto:jflury at tln.org | jflury at tln.org ] or by phone 248-536-3100 ext. 133. 





Thank you! 




Jim
