Collection Development top picks: Early Readers

 You can see a more or less complete record of everything I purchased or added to the collection on  this spreadsheet  and a selection on our  Pinterest page . This is a highlight of early readers I've added this year. Out of 160 titles added, 71 were backlist and 89 were published in 2023. 6 were added to the instructional section and 16 were added to the transitional chapters. This is a bit off, because I reorganized these sections in the fall and moved a lot of currently cataloged things there. 25 titles were nonfiction. More than half of what I purchased this year were replacements and continuations of popular series.
