I think you may have answered your own question. If there is no need for
them, then get rid of them.

Again, if you don't need the materials, they are just taking up space that
you could use for something else. You are the best judge of your library.
If some teacher was assigning work that needed these materials, you would
be justified in keeping them, complete set of not. Since no one is using
them, don't feel bad about getting rid of them. Perhaps someone on LM_NET
would want them to complete their set.
