Tis the Season for weeding!

Ahh! Spring has sprung in Arizona! The aroma of orange blossoms tickle our noses, while a few of us are sneezey with allergies, most of you have probably been dealing with pesky weeds that have popped up in your yard! Well, at the Scottsdale Library, we have been busy ‘weeding’ as well!

Weeding a library is like weeding a garden; one looks over everything and carefully selects those things that need to be removed. So what ‘needs’ to be removed? Picture a book with water damage, pages missing, torn covers, think of VHS movies from 1989, or a cassette tape from your favorite musician. Those are items that should be weeded out – which means they will either be placed in our library shop or recycled.

Weeding is important as it saves space, time, and money; but most importantly it allows space for new items to be checked out by our adoring public!
