Content Audits – for Kids!

My kids aren’t old enough to have jobs yet, but somehow that hasn’t prevented them from collecting a lot of stuff. As they get older and celebrate more birthdays and Christmases, the amount of stuff they have gets larger and larger. My coworker Connor Cantrell recently wrote an article about the concept of “weeding” in the cycle of collection development, which is the act of removing items from a collection. Her article also hinted at how it applies to more than just library collections. Just like libraries weed their collections, at times it becomes necessary to weed the kids’ toy collection.
