Any librarian worth their salt would find a secret way to get that kid his book

I watched the library in my high school downsized repeatedly during and after my time in school.

They went from half a dozen librarians to one. They purged their collections of microfilm and whittled away any research tools that weren't just on a computer. They stopped ordering new books for the most part by the time my sister graduated.

I believe they've since renovated the space to convert a big chunk of it into more classrooms.
