When I started on this collection 3 years ago it was 1965... so I consider it a big
improvement.

Actually, the first year I was here I did a presentation to the school board
showing graphs and statistics on library use. I also displayed some of my books
with ancient copyright dates. The next year my budget was increased by 40%! Best
of all, they supported my decision on the pitching of unneeded books, and that is a
rare thing)

Most of my collection is in the late 80's or early 90's
Two section religion and poetry are in the late 70's
I feel I have done very well since average age was in the early 70's when I came in
1996.

Renee,
I have worked hard to improve my age of collection. I do not purchase anything
with a © date of 5 years or older....no exceptions!. I weeded my collection
heavily for 3 years. The average age of this collection is 1993, which sounds good
until you realize that is still 13 years old.....older than most of my students. I
have just over 10,000 volumes.
