Selection & Deselection of Materials
Answer
Selection:
The Library Manager will be responsible for the selection of materials for the library by:
- Utilizing the book budget funds to ensure that there are sufficient monies to purchase new material throughout the year.
- Evaluating the library collection to identify needed material.
- Deciding on the disposition of outdated, non-circulation or damaged material. Collection weeding guidelines are available from the Northern Lights Library System.
Deselection:
Material, that ceases to meet the selection guidelines, may be removed by the Library Manager. Weeding should be done on an annual basis.
