Is my library burning books?

[StandWatie]

There are three dumpsters outside the library full of books. I asked the librarian what they were and they said they were "weeding out" the books and getting rid of things that hadn't been in circulation for five years.

I asked why they hadn't made this public or if they had offered the books to charity or something and I couldn't get an answer.

I was wanting to look up something in Fateful Triangle by Chomsky so I went looking for it and it wasn't there? Checked out? I went and asked and I was told that was in the dumpster and they sent a runner out to get it. Now I know damn well I have checked that book out in the last five years.

Is anything like that happening anywhere else?
