Hi all - I have also found that my biographies got checked out much more frequently when I organized them by type - sports, science/tech, historical figures, and entertainers/artists. I do have a miscellaneous category for people that don't quite fit, but it's been so much easier for my younger kids to browse and find people. I'm not sure if that would help at the upper grades or not, but it has definitely made a difference here. I just put a tiny colored dot on the spine.

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?
