Youth Services FLASH (7/2/2015)

Just a FLASH of insights, ideas and news for you…..
 Awful Library Books-Hoarding is not collection developmentJust for fun…have a look at some ‘gems’ that are found on library shelveshttp://awfullibrarybooks.net/.  But, more important…see the tabs that highlight WHY we weed and the links to sites for weeding methods etc.  Also remember, STLS can assist you in a variety of ways with your weeding project.
