Subject: [goodnightmoon] What do you do with weeded books from a high school media center

 

I am in the middle of inventorying the books in my media center.  It has not been done in a while!  This is my second full year in the position and I am still getting acclimated to everything that needs to be done, like inventory.  ;)  We recently went through a remodeling that left me with far fewer shelves than before and I have had to be creative as to where to put all the books.  I’ve decided weeding is my only option, especially with *very* old science non-fiction books.  My question is:  What do you do with weeded books?  Does your district have a weeding policy?  If so, can you please share it.  My district is very small and we do not currently have one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
