Hi Everyone
Thanks for a great day yesterday. Have come to school today and withdrawn 14 of our Jun Fiction titles, one dating back to 1977. A very graphic cover of an Iroquois Indian attacking a young 14 year girl set in 1692 called Castle Dangerous obviously long overdue to be withdrawn. Feel a bit nervous doing it as our previous policy has been a directive from management to withdraw no more than 10 at the end of each year. Of the 14 books only 4 have ever been issued and last issue was 2000 so I feel a great tidy could easily happen if I don't curb the urge.
Pauline I guess when we get our new library would be a good time to do a really good clean up. It is very easy to withdraw a book isn't compared to accessing it?

  1. Yes , I agree, withdrawing a book is easier than accessioning it!
    We will certainly 'cleanup' the collection along with writing a Buying Plan.
