[quote=Anonymous]This story broke last week and there is another side to the story (although I'm not condoning it). First, the book discarding policy apparently was followed, but the policy needs to be seriously re-vamped. Second, some (not all, I can't speak for the others) were outdated, inaccurate, or incorrect information partricularly the travel and reference books. Third, in the grand scheme of the huge library system, it was about 1% of the books and they are constantly receiving newer material (and in need of shelf space?). Like I said, I don't condone what happened and, like Linda Smyth said, there are a lot of questions and probably a better method of disgarding books than throwing them into the dumpster (not even recycling them!). WTOP and other news media talked about this last week when the story broke. [/quote]
