This reminds me of when I did my student teaching at my former Jr. High. We
weeded the collection heavily, and behold I found books that I or classmates
signed out- the cards were still in there (and that was around 1979)! I
personally have kept a few classic weeds in a special library my colleague
and I house- but the predicament of what to do with the majority? I bring
them to Starbucks' children's book drive. Gets me free coffee, and a good
feeling.

I don't risk upsetting them when they see all those "perfectly
