There are new revised Weeding guidelines. Fred Schumacher sent them out on 7/6/16. You can see the document here.
In addition, please be aware that you are allowed to send Friends magazines both donations and discards.
The Friends regularly get requests for magazines from
teachers and others and they like to fill those requests with our discards when
they can. They recycle the surplus. We want to help them do both of those
things efficiently. In order to do so,if you are boxing your magazines as
Discards rather than recycling on site after processing them out, please
1) Box
discarded magazines separately from books and other material, not mixed
together.
2) Note
on the box labels that the contents are magazines.
The Friends also report that comic books sell well, as do
graphic novels and manga. Graphic novels and manga are, of course, book
format items and are processed out of our collection and sent to the Friends
just like any other books in salable condition or sorted as true discards if
they are not salable. Please treat weeded comic books the same way as books and
include them in “Friends” boxes if the condition is okay. Do not mix
comics, graphic novels, or manga in the same boxes as magazines.
The weeding guideline will soon be on the HPL Training Portal under Library Functions.
Thanks,
Laurie
