Spring is here and with it comes thoughts of gardening.
Selecting the appropriate seeds and gardening supplies thrills the gardener in anticipation of the spring ritual of planting. Gardens produce sustenance for the body and mind, but they also bring other tasks, which those of us who aren't avid gardeners detest. In general, weeding maintains the relevancy of the collection. A crowded, shabby collection discourages use and hinders the shelving of materials. It also presents a public relations problem for the library.
