That moment when you’re cleaning out your draft section and you realized that you never finished a series? Yeah, that’s this post right here. This was supposed to be a short post anyways, too!

For further information on Picture Book City, check out these documents I wrote/made for patrons and staff:
Patron Information — This is still out in the department for parents to take. It is a document holder I’m constantly refilling since patrons are still taking it a year after PBC was finished!
Picture Book City Training Manual — This is what I wrote for our Tech Services department and for our Pages. It’s also been used to train new staff members in Reference as well.
I will finish this series in the next month (March) with an update about the section after a year and information about doing Picture Book City in Spanish!

How’s this going 5 years out? I’m currently considering options for our picture books. Question #2: Do you include nonfiction picture books within these sections or do they have a different location?
Hi Katelyn,
I left that library about six months after the project was done. From what I can see in their catalog, a lot of things are the same but some changes have been made (like creating an animal area). Non-fiction picture books were kept in that area at the time of the introduction. I’m not sure about now. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
