Gifts and Donated Books

The library accepts gifts of books and other materials with the understanding that they will be added to the collection only if appropriate and needed. If they are not needed because of duplication, condition, or dated information, the media specialist may dispose of them as he/she sees fit. The same criteria of selection which are applied to purchased materials are applied to gifts. It is desirable for gifts or for specific titles to be offered after consultation with the media specialist. Book selection will be made by the media specialist if no specific book is requested. The Holley-Navarre Middle School Media Center encourages and appreciates gifts and donations.

 

Weeding Library Media Materials

At Holley-Navarre Middle School, the CREW* method is used to determine what should be withdrawn from the collection: Continuous Review, Evaluation and Weeding. The criteria considered when weeding the collection include age, circulation, physical condition, curriculum, bias, and obsolete formats.
