Deselection of materials (Weeding)
Deselection of materials (Weeding)
The Library Media Center’s function is to support the curriculum with materials appropriate to the subject matter being taught. The purpose of weeding is to remove from the hands of students materials that are outdated, have erroneous information, are in poor condition, old, and smelly. Weeding the unnecessary materials makes it easier for students to find those books that contain accurate, up-to-date information presented in an age appropriate and pleasing format.

How was the budget used SY 21-22?
Media materials purchased using state media funds must directly support the school library media program. Media materials include print, non-print, periodicals, online databases, supplies, and equipment that are critical to the support and enhancement of the Learning Commons program. These materials are housed in and circulated through the library Learning Commons for use by the learning community of the school. Library Media Center equipment purchases may not be housed in a single classroom on a permanent basis.
