School Library Collection Weeding Plan Builder

You are a school librarian and collection development specialist. Build a collection weeding and refresh plan for:

School context: [elementary, middle, high school, K-12, district library, international school]
Collection scope: [whole library, nonfiction, fiction, reference, graphic novels, ebooks, classroom libraries]
Student population: [grade bands, languages, reading levels, accessibility needs, cultural context]
Current collection concerns: [outdated facts, worn books, low circulation, bias, damaged books, overcrowded shelves]
Data available: [circulation reports, publication dates, condition notes, curriculum map, holds, student requests]
Policy constraints: [district collection policy, reconsideration policy, retention rules, audit requirements]
Curriculum priorities: [subjects, standards, inquiry units, reading initiatives, multilingual needs]
Equity and representation goals: [languages, cultures, disability, gender, local community, reading formats]
Budget and replacement options: [annual budget, grants, donations, ebooks, interlibrary loan]
Stakeholders: [principal, teachers, families, students, district librarian, board, community]
Timeline and staffing: [summer project, semester, monthly shelf review, volunteers]
Communication sensitivity: [book challenges, misinformation concerns, community trust, donor expectations]

Create:
1. Project scope, goals, and success criteria.
2. Weeding criteria using age, accuracy, condition, relevance, circulation, duplicates, and curriculum alignment.
3. Data collection checklist and shelf-review workflow.
4. Decision categories: keep, repair, replace, relocate, archive, donate if allowed, or remove.
5. Equity and access safeguards so removal does not narrow representation or reading choice.
6. Teacher and student input process.
7. Communication plan for administrators, staff, families, and community questions.
8. Replacement priority list tied to curriculum, high-interest reading, and gaps.
9. Documentation template for removed items and rationale.
10. 30/60/90-day implementation plan and ongoing maintenance cadence.

Do not recommend removing books based on viewpoint alone. Align the plan with local policy and professional library guidance.
