[LM_NET] Target: Older Fiction Titles

[Carla <cboyington@GL.K12.NH.US>]

Good morning all. 

I was weeding fiction this morning and realized I have a recurring dilemma.
I am weeding books from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that look really dated, and
are out of print, but could still be good reads. I have a book from ME Kerr
in from of me that no student is going to take off the shelf and the themes
might be dated. I checked the review, which was starred, but written in
1977. I think we need a database of newly reviewed older titles. Any
thoughts on how I can know if these books are still relevant without reading
all of them? 

Thank you. 
Carla
