Public libraries reflect what patrons want in area reading
Public libraries tailor their collections to reader demand with patron requests and reviews from magazines approved by the American Library Association. Carbondale and Sallie Logan libraries stock popular authors like Harold Robbins while preserving space and budget limits, using Shawnee Library System interlibrary loans to access about 220,000 books for 18 southern Illinois counties.
