REUSING DISCARDED OR WEEDED BOOKS

A project on the beneficial ways of reusing weeded books at Huntington

branch library in Shelton, Connecticut

By

Hanem A. Ibrahim

I. Introduction


2/19

Weeding or disquisition is the act of remoing items from library!s collection, which

could be a controersial process" Weeding and acquisition go hand# in# hand in library

deelopment management, it is one of the best tools aailable for long# range

improement of library collections, but it could also be destruction of public property" $%&

'herefore libraries should use the best method of weeding, and take only the adantages

of this process" 'here are different methods of weeding that depend on the type and si(e

of the library, but if libraries hae to take these weeded items out of their collection) they

should think of a better way to reuse them instead of just discarded them and put them in

bo*es for public, they should reealuate their acquisition systems to aoid wasting their

budgets in some collection that will stay on the sheles till it ended up in a pile of

withdrawn materials" +s there any better idea than that 'hat!s what +!m going to discuss

in this project"

II. Puro!e and "oa# o$ the ro%ect

At Huntington branch library# a small public library in Shelton Connecticut# + found outthat they are withdrawing a ery good collection of books, for adults and children,

besides other materials like children -HS, or some other educational materials, .ach

time + isit the library, + find a pile of withdrawn materials outside the library in the hall

of the community center where the library is located" -isitors could pick whateer they

want from that pile, that stop me, + asked myself /+s that a destruction of public property

or what Are there any better way to reuse these materials instead of that" 'hen lots of

question distracted me trying to find a solution for that problem, + had to get answers to

these questions in order to start this project and take the decision about the better way of

reusing these materials" 'hese questions included0

%" 7o other libraries in the area do the same thing with the withdrawn materials if they

are withdrawing any of them

6" What are the other methods of weeding that other librarian use for weeding

8" How we know if these weeded items are needed by others

4" What are the better ways of reusing these weeded materials

'he goal of this project is to proe that withdrawing weeded materials atHuntington library is not the best idea to get rid of unwanted materials, there could be

other beneficial way to reuse these items, also this project aims to hae the librarian

there to rethink of their acquisition system, and take adantage of this weeding process

to improe the library collection, and sae their budget in material that public really

need"

III. &imitation! o$ the !tud'

+ limited my research to the Huntington Branch library in Shelton Connecticut, because

it!s the only library of all the public libraries + sureyed that!s withdrawing their weeded

materials" + also limited my project to the weeded books only) because + noticed the alue

of these books, while the other withdrawn items are not that aluable" A copy of this final

project will be introduced to the director of that library to discuss the best way to reuse

weeded items instead of get rid of them"

+-" (ethod! o$ !earchin"

+n order to get answers to my questions, + adopted the case study method" +n this case +

needed to know the beneficial way to reuse the withdrawn materials in certain library

which is Huntington library, + had to collect information about the weeding system in this

library, and analy(e it to get the results that lead to find the better way of reusing these

questions" 'hese steps are0

told me the library is like a popular library, they depend on the best seller adertisement

to collect their books, they purchase whateer people prefer to read, sometimes that

doesn!t work with the circulation of these popular books, or sometimes they buy more

copies thinking that people could needed, and after a while these books don!t hae the

same appeal any more, they stayed years on the sheles, and nobody wants to read

them, then they had to get rid of them, they sometimes put them on sail, but most of the

time they withdraw them by just putting them in the hall for the library where isitors

could pick whateer they want from that pile, they think that they are giing them back

to the public who paid ta*es, but what if any other residents from different towns took

them And are there anyway else they could get more benefits than that Before +

answer that question + had to show how they process weeding in the Huntington library

)I. ,he roce!! o$ *eedin" at the Huntin"ton #ibrar'

As + referred to the literature in weeding, and as + noticed from all the responds +

receied from the librarians from different states, + found out that there are different

weeding policies followed by those librarians, most of them as + noticed follow the

the library?s collection" 'hese hae been summed up with the acronym @;S'+.

'he library has to hae a weeding policy to adapt, in order to process weeding their

collection, Irom my e*perience with Huntington library while + was olunteering there

for almost si* months, + noticed that they hae no written policies for weeding, the only

method they use is the book circulation control$4& if any item didn!t checked out for two

years then theyJll weed it, that happened when they decide to do their annual weeding ,

they!ll get a computer printout of the section being considered to process weeding $5&

then they go to the sheles and start looking for those books, if they found them) they!ll

check them in their catalog to see if they are haing more copies, and if the one that

didn!t checked out in better condition, they keep the good copy and withdraw the other ,

they also check if these uncirculated books hae any special thing to keep them like

some of them could be part of series, or a winner of best seller award, if they decided to

withdraw them they discarded them from the library catalog and mark them or put

withdrawn labels oer the barcode numbers,$K& then simply pile them up to put them in a

bo* outside one of the library!s entrance" 'hat happened with all the weeded collection

that they decide to get rid of, that could be affectie with the Adult collection, but the

library uses the same policy for teens and 1uenile collections, these children books are

as different from adult collections as children are from adults, and they require different

considerations for weeding, because children as patrons often require an adult Jgo#

between! to find what they need for research and pleasure reading" A child browsing

through the nonfiction collection may be completely lost unless he or she has been

shown, and understands, how to find the materials needed" $3& 'herefore not circulated

books doesn!t mean they are not needed any more, sometimes they couldn!t find some

uncirculated books hae to take another chance"

)II. What are the other *a'! that Huntin"ton #ibrar' u!e! *ith the

'here are other ways to get rid of the weeded books rather than throwing them

away" 'he library doesn!t throw all the weeded books all the time, in some cases they

choose some of these weeded books, and put them on sale inside the library or in the

library book sale eent which got most of its collection from public donation"

Sometimes they receie a request from some charity institutions in needed areas asking

for children books as a donation, the librarian then will make a quick weeding list from

their uncirculated collections, and take off these uncirculated books, and after checking

them out of their catalog, they put them in a package, then ship them to that place" 'hat!s

what the library always does with the weeded books, but are there any different better

ideas for reusing these books, instead of that

)III. What are the bene$icia# *a'! to reu!e the!e *eeded boo-! in

Huntin"ton #ibrar'+

7onating these weeded books to charity is not a bad idea, but still, these books

are property of the community of Shelton, who pay the ta*es in order to get their public

library serices" +t could be better idea if they first gie these books the chance to be

represented in a different way to help the library patrons to reconsider them, and maybe

they would be wondering /Are these books were there all that time and we didn!t know9

'hat was my first idea of reuse these books before the library take that weeding

decision, + suggested that to the librarian, while + was olunteering there, doing the

weeding process for teen collection back in April, + found some of these uncirculated

books misplaced with the 1uenile collection, actually + felt sorry for these books and

others which misplaced and then judged unfairly to be out of the library collection, they

thought these books were not circulated for more than two years, so they hae to get rid

of them" 'he librarian listened to my suggestion and gae them another chance"

'hen + thought of another way to sae these books before they got e*ecuted, and been

withdrawn out of the library collection, + thought of giing another chance to most of

these uncirculated books that we consider aluable, by representing them in another

place which attract isitors! eyes, and put some notes to reintroduce these books to their

readers either Adults or children, that could help these books to get the attention they

desere"

'o put these material on sale to the same community who refused to read them while

they were for free on the library sheles, that won!t help the library to get some more

money back out of that book sale, they hae to put these books on sale in different place

rather that the library book sale" +!m not sure is that possible or not And is that will help

them to get more money Gr there will be other costs of shipping and renting the place

for that sale Gr if the library could find any free ways to sae money they should

consider that suggestion"

After + checked what other library do with their weeded collections, if they hae to take

them out, + got some other good ideas for reusing these books instead of that, these

include0

%# :ut them on sale on e#pay or Better world books

6# Some of the books are out of print, they could be the only copies aailable and the

library doesn!t know that, they may keep them for that reason or sell them to

those who need them

any library could accept them as donation and put them on sheles with their

4# Some old or historic books, or biography, or een outdated non L fiction or

scientific books could be needed by a professor at the uniersity to compare some

old ideas or theory that discussed in these books, so it may be a good idea to

donate these kind of books to the uniersity"

5# +t could be a good idea to gie them to school in the area or other school which

need these books ) fiction or non#fiction books"

K# 'hey could ship them oerseas to some other needed places"

librarian at Huntington library, actually + got benefits out of these weeded books, +

collected some of these books, they are now in my propertyN + wish + had more spaces

to bring more, but as + noticed the shortage of some other collection at the library, and

the harsh economic time that public libraries are facing these days, + thought of that

weeding system as a failure system, so + had to just share my ideas with them maybe

they will consider it as a community serices from one of that community" + wish that

will help them, and hopefully they will practice some of these ideas or come up with

better one to reuse them and get more benefit out of these weeded books"
