That's a wonderful idea to explore. It's certainly one that I would be happy to think about, if I'm confirmed in the job, and to talk to my colleagues about as well and get ideas from you. Certainly that is something I will make note of for future reflection.
In terms of the budget for the acquisition of books, I would love to know the details of the Library's budget, and I can assure you that, if I am confirmed in the job, one of my first priorities will be to get a detailed briefing on the budget, where the funds are, how they are distributed and why, what the rationale is, and see if there are things that we don't have that we need to get or if there are things that we have budgets for that we don't need. That is something I would look into.
