Why and How I Removed 2000+ Nonfiction Books: A Librarian's Guide to Weeding
Ойын-сауық
I recently weeded about 2/3 of my school library's nonfiction collection before the move to my new school. It was so liberating!

Any donations will probably truly buy me a coffee... I rarely treat myself to Starbucks, but with a three-year-old wild child at home, a full-time job, trying to grow my KZread channel, and training for my first half marathon, I need all the coffee lol.

This was great and so helpful! I am looking forward to the organization video for nonfiction. I can’t wait to see your new library! Have a wonderful summer break :)

Fingers crossed that I get into the new library July 1st!!
We just finished weeding too (I'm in a public library but we are a single branch) and now on to inventory. Seems to be the season for it. 😅 Can't wait to see the new library! We send our weeds to Better World Books, trying to get some money back for the budget. It definitely depends on the age and condition.

I love your show and I'm just Is whining about books getting thrown out, but here's some information for you.Have you ever heard of Tu Youyou turned to Chinese medical texts from the Zhou, Qing, and Han Dynasties to find a traditional cure for malaria. So even after five years, nobody looking at them they still could be worth something. But I understand what you're doing, and I'm excited to see your new library. Come together.😊
You don’t have to click. Just enter the date in the box next to the little calendar icon 🤓. I’ve never seen the MUSTIE guideline! I’ll be using and sharing that.

Thank you so so much for the tip!!!
“Mustie” is awesome 😂 you made this video at the perfect time! Starting weeding this week! If you have time, would you be able to do a scholastic book fair video some time next year?

Hi, Emily! Glad I could help! I made a book fair video several years ago when I first attempted a high school book fair. I'll link it here. But I'll try to make an updated video this fall to see how the book fair is faring (haha) years later. :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKJ7t6SHc7Cukto.html
