Or a thrift store ?

Weeding and Growing the Garden of Your Library

Editor's Notes

  1. Welcome to my session on Weeding and Sowing the Garden of Your Library. Long title—not our most creative moment. but I hope you will take some useful ideas with you.
  2. I am Mary Simmons, I have been in education 26 years, in the library for 23, first in Virginia, then in North Carolina (21 years), and I have been at all levels.
  3. Your library is like a garden—so much is there for patrons to pick! But like a garden, it can become full of weeds that mask the flowers.
  4. I have put links on our netvibes page to various sites that provide more detailed information on weeding. If it is smelly, moldy, outdated, ugly, and it doesn’t have a cover—then out it goes (except for the 800s).
  5. We buy from Barnes and Noble and Amazon, and several preview companies. I have corporate accounts at each. I have written and won several LSTA grants—I write another as soon as I am eligible. We also get ADM dollars—but that will soon stop.
