What's in that picture? Why, those are books. New or nearly new books that were thrown into a dumpster outside Intermediate School 73 in New York.Now there could be any number of reasons for how they ended up in the dumpster. No good ones spring to mind, however.
The titles:
- Treasure Island
- Little Women
- Sarah, Plain and Tall
- The Witch of Blackbird Pond
- Kidnapped
Education officials are investigating how this could have happened. At this point, it appears that it was not done by the teacher librarian, but that is only my guess based on the reading of the article.
If the school needed to get rid of the books, at the very least, I would think that they could have been given to students. Yes, they are older titles that are not read as much as they once were, but at my school, I would have had quite a few students who would be happy to get them.
