He was big on "books are outdated, they should only do research on the internet". We were able to keep our nonfiction section for pleasure reading and background work, but the reference section is gone. Things like encyclopedia sets went to recycling. I kept a few dictionaries, thesauri, etc. and moved them to our regular collection. The rest I either moved to our regular collection - the ones with animals and the solar system are very popular - and some, that I knew would fall apart if they circulated, are on a bookshelf by our casual reading area. Kids who for whatever reason aren't able to check out a book are able to look at these books while their classmates are checking out.</div></div><br clear="none"><div class="yiv0824918193gmail_quote"><div id="yiv0824918193yqt80095" class="yiv0824918193yqt0180050304"><div dir="ltr" class="yiv0824918193gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 22, 2023 at 10:19 AM Annette Davis via AISLE <<a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="yiv0824918193gmail_quote"><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div dir="ltr">Hello, all!</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I need your input and perspective and advice, please!
