    I heard from an elder that his KH library is to be terminated when a refurbishment takes place.

    Is this now standard policy?

    I'm completely out of the loop now but I can imagine that happening. I can't recall anyone using the libraries at the KH's I attended all through the 70's, 80's & 90's so what chance in the digital age?!

    Libraries were rooms for nappy changes, 'disciplining' and elders goofing off . .

    Makes sense - it's a lot easier to revise history and change embarrassing statements in the literature when the average JW will only have access to it via JW.org. Just put a cheap computer in there and you don't need all those pesky hard-copies floating around in every KH.

    Grab those books before they 'disappear'!

    Frankly, I'm kinda surprised this hasn't happened already.

    I, too, am surprised it hasn't already happened. They are trying to erase their past. Information control.

    They have sent a letter out a couple of years back, listing what book, wt's & aw's, should be kept! Mostly nothing past 1980. Unless it had been revised!

    Time for a good ole fashion book burning JW-style.

    Who'd have known that JWs would actually start burning their own books.lol.

    Everything you need is available from "us" at jw.dot.org.

    Actually was brought up at our last Servants meeting. We had a recent surge in babies born at our hall and there is not enough room in the woman's room or the small closet they call the Babies room (nursing room.) The CO suggested to "Get rid of the library and make it a babies room and put the congregations computer in the old babies room with all the latest releases on it." He said we don't need to keep printed copies if we have digital. I think that is what they are going to do here in about a month.
