		<description><![CDATA[This is happening in Toronto as well. A librarian lives in my building, and when she saw a bunch of books in the laundry room (where they&#039;re available to share) she immediately blurted &#039;those books need to be destroyed.&#039; Her reason was they were bad for the environment because they are printed using acidic paper or ink or something. This is when I discovered the city library system has been destroying almost all books older than about ten years or relegating them to an area of the central library when they cannot be easily accessed. My first thought was an is that this dopey eco-justification is awfully convenient for those wanting to rewrite or suppress history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The truly horrible thing about this is that, while ink on paper media do not last forever, magnetic media are the most ephemeral manner of storing information. There are some new technologies being developed, but what is currently commercially available will degrade in five to ten years, even assuming that the systems they were formatted for still exist by then.  Bottom line:  The books that are currently being digitized and then the hardcopies destroyed will be lost forever.  But maybe that&#039;s what the barbarians inside the gates (pace, Thomas Sowell) want.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What did you expect when we have allowed corrupt,  race baiting politicians to affirmative action the less than most qualified into leadership positions in industry and government. Our government now has more executive level positions than there is a percentage of any population with enough intelligence to fill them.  Even out President is nothing more than a jive talking con man who is a product  of our self esteem enhanced, social promoting,  education system. He claims to be a constitutional scholar, yet he thinks there are 57 states, and obviously hasn&#039;t even read the Constitution, or if he did, he couldn&#039;t comprehend what he was reading. Our country is indeed in a state of decline.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s happening to the NY Public Library is happening to libraries across the US. The library of the large public university in my city is en route to becoming nothing but a glorified study hall/social space. Books are being shipped to remote storage, and stacks are being replaced with digital technology and study areas. Print collection development is down; eBook acquisition is up. Like seemingly everything else in the Western world, the library is being redefined out of existence.]]></description>

That&#039;s right, I now look at them with a benign compassionate pity that one reserves for a sort of tormented mental defective.  Something along the lines of a retarded monkey.]]></description>
