Also still there: The Bell Curve, The Camp of the Saints. And I'll add; they should be there! Libraries should be filled with all kinds of books, including disgusting totally wrong books. It's still important to be able to access them, but it's also quite obvious what this admin is doing.

That’s what the Nazi party told the people of Germany to do in the beginning too.

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...
