"rare" books in H.S.

[Laura Mench <nrhs_st_lm@NOECA.OHIO.GOV>]

Hi all!
While going through parts of the collection last week, I came across
several "rare" books (100 years and older) in the 800's.  Some are in decent
condition, while a few are very worn.   Generally, the books haven't been
checked out in the last 20+ years, although one book went out last year
to a student who also "stole" one library book and damaged another.  A
library aide suggested having a "rare book" shelf where we keep the books
"away" from students so they can't be damaged or removed.  Do any of you
have such a situation?  Should I just take the books to a used/rare books
dealer?  I would appreciate your comments/suggestions.  Please respond to
me directly.

Thanks!
