I have to agree with Bambi. Just today, I received two boxes of books from
our District Resource Centre coordinator who just cannot bring herself to
actually throw things away. Instead, she packs them up and sends them off
to the schools with a little note that says "Thought you might be able to
use this". So today in those boxes, I received materials to support a
course that has not been offered anywhere in our school district for the
past 10 years. Where did they end up? In the round filing cabinet, of
course.
