<div dir="ltr">We have done mass amounts of weeding in the last year and a half. At one point I asked facilities what to do with the literal room full of books (half full mark: <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZX3vcfbxjNH6fue46">https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZX3vcfbxjNH6fue46</a>)<div>Facilities asked me if we could provide a list that they would send to SPL. I gave the list, and have heard nothing.

<p class="MsoNormal">At one point they did not want to by facial tissue because that would be using state purchased items for personal use. So I asked how we could buy toilet paper then and said “Fine. I’ll just put a roll of toilet paper on the service desk
for students to use.” We now have facial tissue at the desk. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😉</span><br>
<br>
Along those lines, someone from our Business Office once questioned our purchase of book marks. We use to buy a bunch at the beginning of the school year and it caught their attention for some reason. I informed the inquirer that we don’t give those away.
We leave them on the counter and people STEAL them. <u></u><u></u></p>
