Every year, around this time, I peruse Diane's "discard" cart. I never thought too much about it until this year, but after her first big order, she does a big weeding session. She emails the staff to take a look through and take anything they want from the cart. After several days of people sniffing around the cart, it's time to destroy the discards. I had the honor of tackling some of this job this fall. It was hard work! I was actually sweating by the time I was done with my assigned batch. Weeding is a tricky thing to explain to non-librarian types, because they think it's such a travesty to destroy books. I know understand the process and can explain it, pretty much, to them.
