Event Description
We all know weeding is necessary to maintain up-to-date and useful collections, but how much is “too much,” especially when budgets are tight? This workshop provides practical tips for weeding specific Dewey categories and “problem” areas like classics, award books, graphic novels, and juvenile biographies.
