[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] TAR: Book displays in the time of COVID

[Alexandra Stevens]

We have books displayed on 3-4 different locations in our high school
library for much of the year. We have around 2,200 students that walk in
and out of our library doors each week (400 that have classes in our
library classrooms, 1,700 that work in the library during their open blocks
and lunch).

Due to book budgets being zeroed out, we were unable to buy any new books
from February 2020 through this June, so we haven't rotated our books
displays as often as usual and the displays are smaller due to lack of new
books. (Fingers crossed that our budget is restored next year). But if we
had any new books coming in, we would have been doing a lot more
display-wise.
