Whether that's so varies greatly from library to library, but even if true in your area, the type of thing Ann is talking about would have been purchased long ago. That Time-Life "Decades" series is more than 20 years old. Newspaper microfilm is generally held permanently. Costume history books rarely get discarded even when we ought to. None of which negates the problem of turning those images into electrons, of course.

the larger public library in the university town. Public libraries spend
very little of their budget on non-fiction these days.
