Information and Collections: How does your collection fare?

Hello Friends!

On this fine Sunday, I find myself flipping through VOYA and alternately looking in our card catalog to see if we have anything that I would want to read. So far, it's about 50/50 hit to miss. This leads me to the question I've proposed in the subject line: How does your collection fare? If you could have $500 more dollars for books, what subject areas or places would you bulk up your offerings to teens?

I would add more LGBT fiction and nonfiction to our collection. I think that though we have a good representation of GLBT materials, but I know the public high school has more. That's all well and good for them, but we also have a rural high school and a Catholic high school. Can I bet those libraries will have the same offerings? I can't, so I would like the Public Library to be able to provide.

What would you add? Why?
