[ISLMA-Share] Newbery medal items

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I say, if it won't be missed, get rid of it.  There are many books that are
award winners that I decide to get rid of because no one reads it.  My
opinion is that your shelves should reflect the sorts of books your
students read, and apparently, they aren't reading that book.  :)

Offer it up to your teachers after it is weeded if you think someone might
still want it though!
