Libraries have discarded their old texts in America. Rather than fill multiple branches with specialized focus, they’d rather dump the books they don’t agree with, have half empty shelves, and stock the book of the month club selections picked by Oprah Winfrey.
I know. I worked in public libraries in the 1970s, and they were already discarding classics to make room for the latest best-selling potboiler.
But, we have the Internet, now - until they decide to censor it, and take all of the good old stuff off of Gutenberg, archive.org, etc. ;-)
