The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.
Jacob Richmond, a NASA spokesman, said the agency would review the library holdings over the next 60 days and some material would be stored in a government warehouse while the rest would be tossed away.
“This process is an established method that is used by federal agencies to properly dispose of federally owned property,” Mr. Richmond said.

Do US citizens not have a sense of the damage and loss of knowledge and recall the German Nazi’s burning of books? I think I know the answer and it is too maddening.
It was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about this news.
Whew! Maybe now we’ll have the money for a ballroom/conference center and “Victory over the libs” arch. /s
