[CASL-L] Biographies section question

[Oosterwyk, Annie]

Hi Michele,
I just severely pruned my biographies.  I kept only those relevant to the history curriculum, authors read in class, or anyone my students currently care/know about.  I DID move any interesting memoirs into my nonfiction section where I thought they might get more visibility.  Everything else got chopped for all the reasons you mentioned.  Time to call Discover Books.

Subject: [CASL-L] Biographies section question

Good morning,

I am working on weeding my biography section and thought I'd crowd source my question. My biography section sits neatly on the shelf, relatively untouched for the past 5 years. It contains different level readability books on the same person. As these are not read, and biographies are readily available online, my desire is to weed down based on year published and last circulation. Does anyone have thoughts on why I should keep multiple reading levels of these biographies?
