[LM_NET] Help needed for new Middle School Librarian

[veronica morris <veronicamorris2004@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I am overwhelmed to say the least..I am taking over for a very nice but very much a 
pack rat librarian.  The library as a whole is small but there are about 4 storage 
rooms with stuff in them that I know people do not use anymore.  I am at a loss on 
how to organize this mess, can someone give their opinion as to whether you would 
keep record players, LPs, slide projectors, and old old collections of books about 
our state (New Mexico).  Also, how do you weed videos?  I am afraid I am going to 
be getting rid of more stuff then what I keep in the library. 
 
I also would like some input as to other middle school library floor plans (where 
are your fiction, nonfiction, reference, profession collections) and if you have 
seperate collections that I am not thinking about that apply to middle school. 
 
I did take some pictures so if anyone wants to see and offer suggestions let me 
know and I will forward to you Veronica Morris -Librarian
