Lending stock policy
The stock policy is intended to provide a framework for collection management, purchasing, planning, standard setting and benchmarking
This stock policy explains:
- How the library service contributes to achieving the priorities of Richmond upon Thames Borough Council in terms of its stock
- How we choose the books, videos, DVDs and other materials you find in your libraries
- How we maintain and promote those materials
- How we circulate stock between libraries to ensure all libraries are able to provide the widest choice of reading material
- Why and how we decide to keep some items and withdraw others
- How we measure stock performance and how this helps to inform stock development
