Weeding schedule
Hi all--
We are weeding in several areas of the library:
Biography -- almost done
Large Type -- we did one run through and will trim some more
J Fiction -- Lia is up to G.
If a book is listed as "withdrawn", it is essentially gone from the library. Withdrawn books go either to the book sale, our book liquidators, or the recycling bin. If a patron requests a withdrawn book, try to ILL it.
Regarding the database, books' records stay in the "withdrawn" status in the discard record set until the end of the year (sort of like purgatory). Then they are deleted for good (and ascend to bibliographic heaven).
RB, LC, and RW
