[LM_NET] TARGET: OLD encyclopedias and "antique" books

[Meagan Newberry <oldberry@GMAIL.COM>]

Hello
I am in the process of a very involved weeding process at a school
that apparently didn't believe in weeding...ever.
I just found a set of Encyclopedia Britannicas from 1910. They're soft
cover leather bound and in good condition. Do people collect these?
I'd hate to throw away something that would bring in some much-needed
income to our library. There is also an entire shelf of what I was
told are "antique" books...some in good condition, some aren't, and I
was told "don't touch them, they belong to the librarian who used to
work here." They're not allowed to be checked out. Among them are
Beatrix Potter books and old versions of typically canonized classics.
Part of me just wants to throw them out with the rest of the junk, but
if they can be sold for anything worth my time, i want to do that,
too.
Thanks for any advice...
