Week Six at AHS

Weeding is an essential function and activity of any library and knowing how and when to weed is a vital skill for any librarian to learn.  Weeding is the process of withdrawing books from the library collection.  Most commonly this occurs because of damage to the material or because the material contains outdated information.  This week we weeded 24 boxes of materials, separating them into boxes with hardcovers and boxes of paperbacks.  The pictures below show some of the process of collecting the items for weeding, and then the boxing and labeling of items to be collected by JCPS disposal.
