[ISLMA-Share] Book Weeding

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I try to weed every year, but when I started I did a bigger one. I go back
5 years for most books, unless they are the types that I feel are
"timeless." That's pretty subjective.

I also get rid of anything that's falling apart that is around 5 years old
or older.

The hardest thing I have weeding is historical books in nonfiction.

Hope that helps!
