[CALIBK12] Best purchases

[Megan Fuller]

Oddly, I think my small collection of movies has had a significant effect on the student's preception of the library.  I have audio books, games and music, but every year when I show the students the movie collection, they say incredulously, "You mean I can check out movies?!" I have about 50 DVD's including such classics as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure & the Star Wars Trilogy.  They are not educational at all, the kids love them, and my cool factor rises considerably, so I get to recommend books to reluctant readers.
 
I am going to have to change over to blue-ray pretty soon.

Here is my odd question for the day: What two or three purchases (besides books) most made a difference in your library? Feel free to take your answer in any direction that works for you.
 
Some things to consider:
1. Increased circulation.
2. Increased technology.
3. Increased services to students.
 
 
Thanks!
