“I’d even suggest signing books out of your public libraries and “losing” them and giving the libraries the replacement costs for the books, just so you have a record of something.- (Jonty 30)

Or you could buy a book at the bookstore.” (Flick Lives - Cui Bono)
To: Flick Lives: You’re missing the point. Libraries have for decades already been decommissioning (weeding) books that don’t fit the woke narratives and will continue to do that with more and more titles and categories of the written word. My understanding of Jonty 30’s post is that it is an appeal that the few older library books left in libraries, with history, religion, philosophy, morals, etc. in libraries be saved.
The solution is to go to the "Book Sales" which libraries routinely hold.
The declared purpose of these sales is to get rid of supernumerary titles, but what you will actually find is all manner of literary treasures that are being "weeded out."
You can buy them for pennies on the dollar.

We’re in the 21st century. If you’re worried about books disappearing, you can download any book for free, which is out of copyright, from Project Gutenberg. Then you have your very own copy.
