<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anyone had created a book selection policy for selecting books to use in their Storybook Trail? We’ve had a couple of issues crop up, including self-published authors being very insistent about our using their books for
our trail and, unfortunately, a couple of complaints regarding our choices, which means professional reviews are very important to have on hand for any installation. We are exploring creating an official policy regarding the selection of books for the Trail
or adding on some verbiage to our existing policies to address it. I would really appreciate hearing from other libraries about how their Storybook Trail has been addressed in any policies. <o:p></o:p></p>
