Hi Laura,

We have gotten rid of most of our reference books (we are digital now).  I keep a few dictionaries/thesaurus books in our back room for that student that asks for one (once in a blue moon).  I also have a few atlas as well.  If they are not being used, you may want to weed them (esp. if shelving space is limited).

Respectfully,

I would love to hear about the reference section in your library! What does your elementary reference section look like? Do you have one at all? Just dictionaries and thesaurus? Special subject books for teacher use? Mine is a mess and I’m trying to decide what to do with it!

Thanks everyone!
