Geor= ge, thank you for the smile both for me and my wife.

I am married to a fo= rmer public director - a.k.a. a librarian with the formal degrees to&= nbsp;prove it ;-).  She always says weeding the collection is the m= ost important part of the job.  The key is knowing what you can toss,&n= bsp;what is being used.  For any library, there is never a enough sp= ace to keep everything, but the problem is you can never fully know what wil= l be valuable in the future.

Thanks again,
