[AISLE-Share] Tips for weeding a bilingual elementary collection

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I now work at a school where over 700 students check out up to 2 physical books each week.  The school community is over 90% Latino with many native Spanish speakers.  We just received a huge order of books in Spanish from our district's EL Department, which is absolutely wonderful, but now the shelves are over-flowing.  Does anyone have a weeding policy (or just general tips) for collections with essentially 2 copies of each title (1 in each language).  As it is, the collection is in good shape.... which makes this trickier!  Reference, of course, is always an easy place to start, but most of those books are already weeded out.  Most of the older books are also already weeded out.  What do you think?  Should I base my weeding on numbers of circulations? I am also considering weeding by overlap in Non-fiction topics.  Thanks for your help!
