[CASL-L] Genrefying - Weeding

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hi Michele,

I agree with Cathy.  We also keep anything that might fit this criteria but
might have historical or town significance.  We weeded a few fiction books
that were never signed out that were old, with unappealing covers.  If
moldy, yellow, ripped pages etc...I try to replace if needed (classic or
used w/ English classes).  Otherwise, weed it.
