I have weeded some of the picture book collection, and am now wondering what
to do with the books. Originally I thought I would offer books to the
teachers, then those left to students. As I am going through these books I
am unsure of this offering. I, myself, would not want some of these books.
Coffee-stained, torn, but taped up pages, food smudges, etc. I am disgusted
just touching some of them and can see why they may not have circulated.
Besides being old and boring looking they are just plain dirty. Do I put my
personal feelings aside and set the books out for the taking and let others
judge for themselves?
Also do you offer materials to teachers first, and then students or vice
versa. I was thinking about setting some books out during registration on
Aug. 15 for students and parents, but the teachers don't officially come
back until the following week. Or should I wait until school begins, offer
to the teachers, and any left over students are welcome to take. Any advice
is appreciated.
