Somewhere between 10,000- 30,000 books were thrown away, even though other schools chartered by The Leona Group have a great need for resources. Worst of all, the library had what was called the best collection of black history books in the state-<br /><br />and people still wonder why i walked, and don't feel the need to unionize??????<br /><br />wait until the Leona Group comes for their library. google highland park books.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/results?q=highland+park+books&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50768961,d.dmg,pv.xjs.s.en_US.E_1kRF_UP4s.O&biw=1138&bih=536&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=w1<br /><br />xxalainaxxmrs.missalaineushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542984504965262088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248065179634488001.post-84574279950783403642013-08-18T08:09:53.812-07:002013-08-18T08:09:53.812-07:00Ok--saw a news video where a mom says she saw them...Ok--saw a news video where a mom says she saw them boxing up the books.
