Many Thanks

[Charlie Makela <cbmakela@YAHOO.COM>]

Thank you to everyone who provided me with information about discarding
books.  Most school divisions do have policies in place for the removal
of items from the collection.  Some give them away, some sell them,
some send them to auction and many do indeed put them in black garbage
bags and put them in the dumpster. A helpful custodial staff is a great
asset here. Everyone agreed that the general public does not understand
the need for weeding.  They only see their tax dollars being thrown
away.

The person who requested the information was amazed at the number of
responses and how quickly they came.  I told him that I had a network
of friends that serve as the 'librarian's librarian'.

Thanks again.
