In my public library, we have this magic shelf near tech services department
that we put weeded books on.
Dirty, falling apart books get put on the bottom for disposal. The nice, but
non-circulating books (if it hasn't gone out in 2 years, I have to justify
keeping it) get added to our Friends of the Library twice-yearly book sale.
Each book gets stamped as "Cancelled and sold by the Friends of the Euclid
Public Library."
But some still end up back on my shelves somehow.
Our Friends groups is a really great resource, as well as a wonderful bunch
of people. They provide the funding for our summer reading program.
Do any schools have Friends groups for their libraries?
