[CASL-L] weeded books - what do you do with them?

[Melissa Thom]

Hello Nicole!

One way I use weeded books is for makerspace projects--one of my beliefs is
that if a book is non-fiction and outdated, or old and worn out, it should
just be recycled in some way--not sent to another school or country.

Also, I keep the titles that may still be of interest and let classroom
teachers look through them to see if there are any they want to add to
their classroom libraries!  Lastly, I keep high interest titles to put out
for the book swap I organize:)

Hope this helps!
Melissa
