I wasn't employed there at the time (early 1980s), but when Corporate decided to

books relevant to their specialties and were told, "You can go to the dump and pick
the books off the piles".
Yup. Suits frequently do stupid things.
The same thing happened to General? Radio's library when their Concord, MA facility
was closed. Fortunately, the truck driver assigned to dumping the books diverted
them to his barn sale (*).
Good on him for doing that.
(*) Barn sale: an indoor yard sale or flea market. No barns are sold there.
Well, there go my weekend plans.
