In a small library is there any need to keep old reference books that can 't be checked out? My pastor wants old Bibles and books stored in the library, should they be processed and how and should they be available for checkout? I am weeding out inventory and still have Cassette tapes and VCR/VHS. They are not circulating at all.Others to than offering them for free to the patrons and church congregation How can I dispose of them?

My pastor wants old Bibles and books stored in the library... I would add any that seemed useful (maybe a bible version not already processed.) Box the rest, label the boxes with the pastor's request, and store in some out of the way place labeled as "Library Storage." Do not add unwanted items to the catalog unless it is necessary to maintain good relations with your pastor.
