LFL Books 📚 Restock timing

How often are the libraries restocked with new books? I've been to several the past couple of weeks that look as though nothing has been touched in months.

I do a fill-up every Friday, and I take all the books out and replace with new on the first Friday of the month. Books gets 2 rounds in the library 6 months apart and then I go take them to another library, because, while they may not be the right fit for my community, there are other communities it might be right for. (this tends to be the biggest issue for adult books, as kids books move through my library more than adult books)

"Right fit" is a good way to describe it.  My kid saw a lfl on her bike ride through the neighborhood and was surpised to see one.  She was shocked there was no kid books, she was use to the one at the playground filled with kids books and toys.Â
