The city I work in prohibits the selling or giving away of city property so we aren’t allowed to sell them (and truly most of the time they are so old and crusty and yucky that no one would pay any amount of money for them), but if the quality of books is super high we sneakily donate them to More Than Words. That being said we do hold book sales stocked by donations from patrons and the proceeds go into our programming budget.

Hahaha that is hilarious!!

Probably the time I had a book come back with the pages taped back together in a completely random order. Created a wild ride of a story lol

Depends on the library and the type of book. Typical time frames are 10 years, 7 years, 5 years, or 2 years. For example I work in an busy urban library in the children’s room and we were running out of space in our fiction novel section so we did a 5 year then a 2 year when the first one didn’t make enough space. Our biography section grows less quickly so we do 7 year weeds.

It does! We gotta clear space on the shelves sometimes for new books :)

Haha yeah I truly send the single required image a day and use it for nothing else bc it is a horrible platform. As soon as we lose the streak I’m deleting the app.

Thank you kind stranger!
