A number of factors determine what books Twice Upon a Time purchases with monetary donations provided by our donors:
- Gaps in our inventory determined by our Acquisitions Team
- Current and relevant titles that kids love and have requested
- The amount of donations received for each of our funding areas (diversity, French, Indigenous, other)
- The amount of grants that we receive, as well as the purpose of the grants (for example, some grants are targeted to specific age groups, while others require us to buy certain categories of books)
Our Acquisitions team is responsible for our book inventory. The team works closely with our site volunteers, who give out books to children and take notes about popular titles and the types of readers they meet. This way we can be sure to offer the right books to the children we serve.
