Collection Development and/or Weeding Policy

Does anyone have any written policies for their library that they would be willing to share? An assignment for one of the classes I am currently taking at University of Phoenix asks me to get these from one of my local school libraries. I don't have one in my library and have emailed the other teacher librarians in my district, but being summer break - I am not optimistic.

If you possibly have one at your disposal - no matter how outdated - please email to tambrosio@yahoo.com.

Thanks!!
- Trish
