January 2016 Plans

As we begin 2016, I am resolving to complete some major weeding. Many of the videos and books are in good shape. However, due to age of the item or changes to the curriculum, I need to discard things. That is a painful job for librarians but an elementary school library is not an archive. The American Library Association has publication age guidelines for libraries. I try to follow the guidelines within reason. So be looking for items coming home with "Discard" written across the barcode. I will be giving these to students.
