Assessment of the Austin High School Library Drama Collection

Austin High School has a robust theatre program and ethnically diverse student body. The drama collection in the school library fails to meet the needs of the students and sees embarrassingly levels of circulation. This could be due to the location of the drama collection in the nonfiction section, or because the content of the collection'ss playwriters are overwhelming old, white, and male. To improve circulation of the drama collection, I (1) moved the collection out of nonfiction to a more prominent location in the library, (2) provided a list of plays to be purchased by the librarian when the funds become available.
