I recommend it and think it has helped.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:

I would like to know if anyone has a policy or written rule for what you <br>consider a series and when it is put in a series section. Do you even have a <br>series section for children's books? Are graphic series put in the graphic <br>section or the series section? I'm being overrun by rainbow fairies.<br>Thank you<br><br>Jill<br>Youth Service Librarian<br>Georgetown Township Public Library<br>_______________________________________________<br>Michlib-l mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Michlib-l@lists.mcls.org" href="mailto:Michlib-l@lists.mcls.org">Michlib-l@lists.mcls.org</a><br>http://lists.mlcnet.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l<br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
