[Mpls] Minneapolis Public Library Caught Throwing Books in Dumpster

[Leurquin, Ronald]

I was somewhat disturbed by the amount of books in the photo of the dumpster, but want to think that the library was doing what was best with those books.

What also disturbed me is the journalist of this story never made comment of asking the library why they did it.  Tell me the whole story, not just the part you want to tell me.

This weekend I got an email from a website visitor telling me about books in a dumpster at the NE library. I thought that's interesting, so I checked it out and ta-da! There were some perfectly good books in the dumpster at the Minneapolis Public Library Branch on Central Ave. I don't know about you, but that's pretty wasteful. Anyway, I have a longer story about it and several photos at

Anyway, I just thought people might like to know. It's kind of sick them doing this, especially since there have been so many budget cuts and things of that nature.
