I have mixed feelings about weeding, and more than a few conflict of intrest *BG*. "Weeding", Mary in Ky, is getting rid of books from the library, for whatever reason. Some are worn out, but you can order a new copy. The hard part is deciding on the books that the library is going to discard and not replace. some are no problem at all; outdated stuff, too many identical copies, some of which are worn out, etc. The hard part is when you see the value of that particular book, but you need the shelf space, and not enough other people in your community have an interest in the subject. And then there's the hardest part for me; weeding the folkie stuff. If I discard it, I can buy it and have the book for myself, but then it's not there fro other folks to use. And it's too easy to get really greedy... I Knew there were a bunch of us here in Mudcat; it'll help keep me sane here at work, where, unfortunately, my tastes do not coincide with those of my fellow workers. (sigh)
