From the Victoria Times Colonist:
Judith Reid isn\’t surprised to hear from me. God knows, the district\’s head teacher-librarian has been hearing from a lot of people these days during her visits to Greater Victoria school libraries, all of them asking the same questions I\’m asking.
Such as: What\’s going on with all these books? How come you\’re throwing away thousands of them? Aren\’t there desperate children somewhere in the Third World who\’d give anything to get their hands on some of these?
Reid and many of her 51 fellow teacher-librarians in the district are in the midst of a major cull, weeding out any books deemed to be outdated, shabby, incorrect, racist, sexist, ageist or just plain neglected . . .
