Traci Magee, LMS Linden Elementary School Oak Ridge, TN tmagee@ortn.edu 1989 :-( When I started on this collection 3 years ago it was 1965... so I consider it a big improvement. Liz Wiemann School Library Media Specialist Wind Gap Middle School Wind Gap, PA wiemann.elizabeth@penargylsd.org Actually, the first year I was here I did a presentation to the school board showing graphs and statistics on library use. I also displayed some of my books with ancient copyright dates. The next year my budget was increased by 40%! Best of all, they supported my decision on the pitching of unneeded books, and that is a rare thing) Liz Wiemann School Library Media Specialist Wind Gap Middle School Wind Gap, PA wiemann.elizabeth@penargylsd.org Oops I lied.

Sydney Schatz Librarian Liberty High School 100 Liberty Minutemen Drive Bedford, VA 24523 fancyschatz@hotmail.com Renee, I have worked hard to improve my age of collection. I do not purchase anything with a © date of 5 years or older....no exceptions!. I weeded my collection heavily for 3 years. The average age of this collection is 1993, which sounds good until you realize that is still 13 years old.....older than most of my students. I have just over 10,000 volumes.
