Weeding! This word usually connotes pulling weeds. “It is also the word that should be usedspecifies Geneviève Lopez, one of the managers of the municipal library, to discuss the extraction or even elimination of Books which no longer have their place there”. So, around ten volunteers met this Saturday, November 16, to sort in order to eliminate almost 4,000 books. “Indeedcontinues Geneviève, our library wanted to be a heritage library. We kept all the books there while adding new ones regularly. We currently have nearly 6,000 volumes”. And Evelyne Soria continues: “we have 2 criteria: dilapidation and frequency of consultation”. The eliminated books are given to whoever wants them, the remainder will be removed by MP2 environment in order to experience a new life. “We decided to enlist the services of the departmental bookmobile in order to boost our library”explains Nathalie Escamez, assistant in charge of associations. “This recommends keeping 2 books per inhabitant in stock, i.e. for Roubia 1,200 volumes. Hence the sorting carried out today. This membership will give rise to a new operation including opening hours and activities from January”.
