[aisle] reference section?

[Mrs. Kuzminski]

I weeded through my reference section a bunch of years ago.  So much of it
was dusty, musty, out of date, and generally unused.  I only kept books
that were either high interest or were here to support the curriculum. I
relabled them and placed them in the nonfiction section.

Anything that was out of date was immediately "recycled." Items that were
in decent shape but didn't go with the curriculum were first offered up to
staff and then recycled as well.  Our art teacher took a lot of books that
had colorful pictures for students to use in art classes.
