| Piles for permanence or procrastination |
Audrey: It’s about time to clean the bookshelves of outdated, irrelevant books. What's your plan?
Mari: Which books we should keep and which ones we should get rid of, you mean? I was thinking if I haven’t opened a book for six months I should throw it out.
Audrey: Can you decide what's relevant? Some of those "outdated" books may have historical value. Interest to future generations.
Mari: I didn't mean it like that.
Audrey: Well, that's how it sounded. We can't just go on a rampage to make room for more popular titles.
Mari: Okay. What do you suggest?
Audrey: First pile: books of historical and sentimental value. Save. Second pile: books to donate to libraries or opportunity shops. Third pile: ephemera, yes. toss.
