The shelf of weeded books.
It’s time for spring cleaning in the library. Thanks to the variety of online databases that we have available for our faculty and students, found at http://www2.ravenscroft.org/media/databases.htm, there are many items in our non-fiction (Information) section that are redundant.
No, we will not be getting rid of all of our books. With the Upper School Composition Research Paper and the 8th grade Global Ravens Project, there is no better way to browse for topics. Are you thinking about the global water supply? Go look specifically for the call number 333 and thumb through several very excellent and current books to look for research questions. Sit and read for a while to think about where you can go with this topic.
American Literature Shelf, post-weeding.
For fun browsing, though, we want the shelves to be inviting. They don’t all need to be brand new, but they do need to be relevant and current. Every book needs to be a possibility for good reading or research. We have a written policy, but it’s also like your closet, get rid of those items that are always passed over and seem to take up space for the good items.
The shelves that have been weeded have room for display books and look ready for easy pick-up, so stop by today!
