Hi Caitlin,

I'm at a 7-8 Middle School, and we weeded all of the CD audiobooks from our collection last year. They had not circulated in years, and did not seem to be worth the shelf-space. Since our school district uses Sora, students prefer to listen to audiobooks through that app. I haven't once regretted that decision all year.

Hope this helps!

Hey all,

It's my favorite time of year: weeding!! I'm trying to decide if audiobooks (all CD) should be phased out, donated somewhere (classroom or otherwise), or what. We are a middle school 6-8. Tell me your thoughts!
