LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Our School Library Friends group has been very successful in selling =
weeded books. That is the books are weeded and discarded from the library =
collection. Our Friends then sell the books on EBAY. There is a market =
for outdate books on countries, biographies, atomic energy, My History of =
the Presidents that ended with HArry Truman. All of this sold on EBAY =
ranging from $3 to $20.
I encourage youto start a Friends of the Library group. Checkout =
www.folusa.com for more information about school library friends.

I was told I could sell my weeded books, BUT.....I would have to do the
planning, PR, selling, collecting the money, etc. THEN, send all the
money to our Central Administration for deposit in the "general fund."
I would not see any of the proceeds! It's just as well, I think. If
I'm getting rid of books because they are "well-loved" that's one
thing. If I'm saying the books are out-dated and contain incorrect
information why would I want my kids to take them home? (Not to mention
all the community members who feel if you're "making money" by selling
books, they must be worth keeping! A waste of tax dollars! Spoiling
our children for nothing but a shiny new cover! ) I think it's a no win
situation. Out of sight, out of trouble!
