The public library here in Salem has righted itself somewhat after having a head librarian who believed that the measure of a book is its popularity and how many times it is checked out. So she got rid of many books she should have kept and at bargain prices. I was a school librarian and my successor didn't know a damn thing about books and the place of the library, but he knew something about computers and wanted out of the classroom. The person who runs it now is not certified and is conservative, so I do wonder what happened to some of the books I included. Computers are part of our frail infrastructure, but the books will still be there, barring fire and natural disasters.
