Weeding in the Garden of Good & Evil Weeding your library's collection can be a daunting task, but it is a critical component to providing excellent library service
to your community. This hands-on workshop will give you the tools and enthusiasm that you will need to assess your collection and make decisions on what material needs to be weeded out of it. Our approach to weeding is that it isn't the irresponsible disposal
of the library's property, but rather a part of the public service to borrowers, that of maintaining the best possible collection for the community. The workshop will cover: ·
The purpose of weeding ·
Criteria for weeding decisions ·
The mechanics of weeding ·
Developing a weeding policy ·
Resources for disposal of weeded material ·
Practice weeding Please note: This is an in person workshop taking place at E. C. Scranton Library in Madison. Parking is available in the
Town Parking lot off Wall Street behind the Post Office located on the opposite corner. On-street parking near the library is available only for two hours.
Participants are welcome to bring beverages and snacks. The presenters for this workshop are Linda Williams and Maria Bernier from the Connecticut State Library. Cost: Free For more professional development opportunities,
