I had the most beautiful high school library with over 50,000 titles. It was the social center of the school. A few years after I retired they remodeled the school and threw all the books in dumpsters and let a few science classes burn some of the books. The school now has a media center with a couple hundred books, several tvs on the wall, a pool table and they serve coffee to the students. I guess it is a sign of the times.
This is SW PA if it helps you understand the area. Hillbilly hell.
