It's Spring-time and we're going through the collection looking for outdated and/or no longer appropriate materials for this collection. You know we have a "compact" physical space.

Everything on the shelves needs to support the current programs offered at North Metro Technical College.

While "weeding", we look at "holes" in the collection and decide what to purchase to fill those holes. When the fiscal year begins, we'll be ready to spend our budget wisely and the collection will grow in a healthy fashion.
