[ISLMA-Share] Newbery medal items

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I echo what Amy said.  If the students aren't reading it, then it's taking
up space and possibly making it more difficult to find a book that they are
interested in.  A school library is not an archive!  It's okay to get rid
of award winners.
