Bummer. Do you have to go far to find another library that has paper encyclopedias when you need to look up some texts?

Science and tech is obsolete like the format of paper encyclopedias? (It isn't.)

It's worth considering if a short-term focus on stocking fad romantasy comes at the long-term expense of a body of knowledge. Consider the classic value of college degrees - they're (largely) not optimized for fad pop knowledge or even vocational skills, instead optimizing for a rounded body of knowledge considered to be broadly 'educated'.
