Although it sounds like the introduction to library 101, it really is a help to develop a mission statement for a library because the mission statement is a point of departure for the collection. If the main use and purpose of your library is for the religious school attached to the shul, the nature of the books you will keep will be a reflection of that. Conversely, if your congregation is older and there is not much going on in your religious school, then the culling will be a reflection of your patronage rather than the support of your religious school students and staff.
