I finally discarded most of my Newbery books - and no surprize - the kids won't even take them for free! I discarded over 900 books this year - and that was with only lightly weeding the nonfiction section! My theme is "lean and mean."

Lots of space on shelves, books facing outward. Less is truly more!
