All your old sefarim, machzorim, Tenach and any book with G-d's name in Hebrew should be buried. It would make a great learning lesson for your community and even a fund raising opportunity or contact the nearest Orthodox shul for suggestions.
Weeding makes a collection more attractive plus providing space for new material. Unless it's in your mission statement to be a Judaic research library, you should put a plan in place regarding how many past issues you should keep. Some periodicals could be kept longer than others and the articles that highlight your ocmmunity or rabbi could be a permanent archive item. Past issues are available on the Internet and you are not far from a major Judaica library for anyone who is doing research that needs back issues.
