I don't think destroying books is what a library is about.<br />Add to that the fact that here in Oregon they are closing all of the libraries in Jackson County for lack of timber dollars, and the libraries in Josephine County will soon follow for the same reason. I find this very disturbing. Many people have the mistaken impression that libraries are unnecessary because all books are available for anyone to read on the Internet.

What's the point of a Master's Degree (or better) for librarians, if he isn't going to use his knowledge to thin the stacks? <br /> <br />Good rant, Carolyn.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-25742091168189161002007-01-12T22:08:00.000-08:002007-01-12T22:08:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.com
