Miles College Library Shreds Books to Clear the 4th Floor of the Building

The library of Miles College, a Historically Black College dating back to 1905, put its law book collection in the dumpster today. I don't know what other lawbooks are available to the students at Miles College law school, but the 4th floor collection had to be cleared. Pleasant-tempered immigrant laborers with no knowledge of the language in which the books were written were hired to shuttle moving dumpster carts out to the larger dumpster in back of the library. Meanwhile, art books, music books, history books, language books and textbooks reflecting the history of Miles College were prepared for shredding by having the back covers ripped off. I found books of folk songs with illustrations, gilt lettering, and intact hardback covers prepared for mincing in this way. The employee available to discuss the issue said it had nothing to do with her. They were told to clear the 4th floor immediately.
