Book collection policies

Book collection policies are guidelines that libraries or organizations use to determine what books to acquire and keep in their collections. These policies outline the criteria for selecting materials based on factors like relevance, quality, demand, and community needs. They help ensure that collections are diverse, up-to-date, and aligned with the mission and values of the institution. By following these policies, libraries can support educational goals and provide resources that meet the interests and informational needs of their patrons. Essentially, they guide decisions on building a valuable and accessible library collection.
