Weeding: Staff and Community Issues
In recent years, library weeding projects have become increasingly controversial, even resulting in staff mutinies, firings, the resignation and firing of directors. Even when the library’s staff and director have taken care to follow established guidelines, they are accused of censorship, book burning, and destroying public property. How can you safeguard your next weeding initiative and keep it from making local headlines? North Carolina library staff are invited to register for Weeding: An Introduction to Models and Methods, slnc.info/Weeding-2.

Weeding: An Introduction to Models and Methods
Weeding your library collection is as necessary to the health of your library as weeding is to the health of a garden. The evaluation process requires understanding your library’s goals and target audiences, budget constraints, and community needs. In addition, the properly managed weeding project has steps to ensure that books pulled from the collection are treated as potential assets, not just trash. As with most projects, good planning is key.
