Sarah, I asked that very question. I was told that they archive books. I suppose that people can go to the library every day and read the reference copy, which is better than not having it at all, which is the case with 3 other library systems (I was going to join a new one nearby if they had the book) --but Los Angeles is, I think the second largest city in the country (I'm not sure, but when I read that San Diego is the 6th, which surprised me, I was told that New York and then L.A. were the two largest.), and when one lives in one of its far reaches, it's not feasible. :-) Cindy > What in the world is the book doing in the reference > section anyway? > > My library system does take books out of the > libraries and put them in a > storage location, but they are willing to get books > that are requested > out of there for people.
