You can also make a display the "Best books you're not reading" to highlight some forgotten books. If you use bookcovers (sadly, we toss ours) you can recover them with a shiny new jacket to make them look newer.

When I was working at the Ostrow Library at American Jewish University, we had books that were published in the early part of the 20th century circulating. However, if the books are signed or are rare copies, perhaps in might consider placing on a "rare" book shelf and not circulate. I hope that this helps, Haim ________________________________ From: Rachel Haus <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 11:01 AM Subject: [ha-Safran] classifying 1st editions Dear Hasafranim, I am near the end of recataloging our adult fiction. I have found several books from authors such as Martha Wolfenstein, Jacob Lazarre, Rufus Learsi, and Samuel Gordon, all of which were published between 1900 and 1925. The books are in relatively good condition, though certainly show their age. My question is, considering their status and condition, whether to place them in circulating fiction or reference . What have others done? I know that some of them are considered "forgotten" classics, so I don't want to weed them, but they also show no sign of ever having been circulated.
