When our material reseller/recycler broke up with us in 2018, the Pikes Peak Library District had to act quickly to find another option for the removal of over 100,000 items a year. Find out about vendor options and other considerations in our pursuit of an eco-friendly after-library-life for these materials.
Learning Outcomes:- Understand the final stage of the library material life-cycle and how critical it is to the operation of the library.
- Evaluate different models of material afterlife (reuse/resell/recycle) from a variety of Colorado libraries. Could something else work better than your library's existing material afterlife model? What is an optimal model to work toward?
