[aisle] New Library

[Emma Rose Ryan]

Something that might be helpful right off the bat is to identify duplicates
between the two fiction collections. I imagine there's a lot of overlap
between a 6th-grade library and a 7/8th grade library in that area, and you
may be able to quickly pare down by simply weeding the most-beat-up copy of
a given popular fiction title and keeping the other. Hope this helps!
