[aisle] Weeding Policy

[Karen Doyle]

I printed out CREW: A Weeding Manual for Modern Libraries as a guideline.

I weeded a huge amount of books from our library last year as we moved into
a newly renovated space.  We are a one school district, so less red tape,
but it is nice to have something "official" to back yourself up.
