A Public Library System Trashing Used Books

Recently, in February of this year in fact, a particular public library system was investigated and found guilty of tossing garbage bags full of used library books into their dumpsters. Several of these books were still in excellent condition and this was not just a one time occurrence either.

The Knox County public library system, which is sponsored by the taxes that are paid by that counties residents, was recently investigated by one of the local news channels within the state of Tennessee and their investigation infuriated several Knox County residents. Across the county there are at least twenty public libraries and eighty percent of the libraries were found guilty of throwing away many garbage bags of books each week. The books that were recovered ranged from books for children to textbooks to magazines, but the most shocking thing was that some of the books looked as if they had never been opened. All of these books had been stamped by the library with their withdrawn stamp, which indicated that it was no longer within their system.
