weeding of old, bound periodicals

Posted by Carolyn Brook on November 17, 2009 at 5:46am

I have over 20 years worth of bound periodicals (Time, Newsweek and Life) and I would like to get rid of them. What do other libraries do? Do you just throw them out? Does anyone know anyone who would want them?

I am a K-5 school. I send an email to Art, ESL, Literacy, and classroom teachers. They use the artwork for literacy. I recycle the rest.

You might also ask social studies teachers or art teachers. They may be interested.

We sent an e-mail to LM_net targetting our area and found a couple of libraries that took what they wanted. You can also call your local college libraries, some still have hard copies.
The rest we recycled.

  Thanks for responding so quickly. That's a good idea.
