Save Our Books
The Cal Poly, Pomona, University Library has already dumped* tens of thousands of books, and is threatening to dump as many as 300,000 more books in order to fit our collections into the new 100 million dollar study hall.
SAVE OUR BOOKS, STOP THE DUMPING.*
We the Students and concerned Faculty, Staff and Patrons of the Cal Poly, Pomona, University Library, Demand: a Moratorium on the Dumping of Library Materials and call for a complete and independent audit of the Library Building Program, including the number and value of material dumped (withdrawn) from the University Library.
The future is clear: NO MORE free libraries and ever increasing information access fees.
One chilling outcome of the wholesale destruction of our print collections: PAY FOR IT, in the form of ever increasing student information access fees and diminishing access to free and print collections. If information is power, those with the most money WIN
*The wholesale removal of valuable teaching and research materials, exactly the type of materials one would expect to find in a serious university library. This dumping is above and beyond the routine review and withdrawal of obsolete or out of scope materials which all libraries do.
