Theft from schools?

I removed this addition by Tasha:

Big schools, aside from having libraries, tend to have a closet somewhere with piles of old class sets of books. They're either textbooks that don't have classes anymore or novels that aren't taught (for various reasons). The one in my highschool had about thirty copies of Maus and Slaughterhouse Five, and some really interesting sociology textbooks.

While it's interesting, I really don't think suggesting theft from schools is a positive idea. Doctormatt 18:56, 3 September 2006 (PDT)

Okay, no problem. Though to be fair I never mentioned stealing. The aforementioned textbooks were given by the psych teacher who was just thrilled someone was interested. Maybe we can reword it? It's just one of those things I found out senior year that I wish I known all along.--Tasha 13:10, 4 September 2006 (PDT)

Tasha, would you like to rewrite your addition to include the anecdotal point of view that you mentioned here? I think it's a great idea. There are hundreds if not thousands of books each year that are discarded by schools in favor of newer editions or a curriculum change. I think it's a valuable addition. --firsty 11:29, 5 September 2006 (PDT)

Theft from Public Libraries

There is a mention on this article (Records and Books) on stealing material from public libraries. I consider this wrong and immoral. Libraries serve the community and many are financially overstrapped as it is! As someone who frequents libraries on a regular basis, I implore that suggestions like this be stricken from the finished work! Unidyne 18:18, 2 May 2007 (MDT)
