[aisle] Weeding - sticker removal? Old books? Process?

[Lani Maldonado]

Hello!

I have found that at our building, it is just easier to use a white address
label size like the Avery 5160 to cover up my barcodes. I then write or
have the teachers write on them where it belongs. I then find that things
stay in those areas and don't make their way back to me.
