What books have been stripped from the libraries that someone didn't like?

In the late 1980s I was selling Trade books to libraries. I stepped into a high school library to present the titles I was selling. I met with the principal, then with the head librarian. We talked a little before he offered me a tour of the library facility in the school. I knew there was something different with this library as compared to the other school libraries I went into. They had no hard cover books. All they had were magazine racks. I was informed that the school board decided to only buy magazines for the libraries. Their basis? The "kids" were only interested to finish their sophomore year in school. At which time most of the students reach their "age of maturity". They immediately drop out of school and go "out into the world" with the "blessing of their parents"! It was a high school in one of the Southern States.

Not surprised where this library is located. A complete embarrassment.

Ya gotta check the specs for school boards. And their salaries. And the costs.
And where will that excess money go?
