Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
In reference to Joan Hersh’s observation (Voice, Jan. 30) of the Chicago Public Library’s practice of overflowing dumpsters with discarded books in good condition, I have one suggestion. A simple ploy could attack two birds with one stone, both aiding the library’s ever decreasing available funds and reducing the waste of what is any library’s primary resource-books!
Offer these books to the public for a small fee or simply alongside a voluntary collection box. Wouldn’t this be a more suitable option considering the continuing reduction in the library’s budget?
