Library Weeding

Weeding is a crucial part of library collection maintenance. We have to build a collection and activities to uphold the Freedom to Read Statement and Library Bill of Rights of the American Library Association.

Weeding:

• Helps provide high quality materials.
• Addresses limited space.
• Improves access and visibility of existing books.
• Helps determine areas of need in the library collection.
• Helps us adapt to changing curriculum needs.
• Makes it easy to find age-appropriate, high quality, and up-to-date resources.
