I have been informed that a vigorous public debate has taken place in New Zealand about libraries. Can any New Zealand members post details. Where can one read about this? The Canterbury Public Library in New Zealand sold a huge volume of rare books through Christie's in Sydney 2 years ago. I was shocked at what they deaccesssioned eg a wonderful history of Italy in Italian of 1820 beautifully printed. Getting these works into Australian libraries would have been a hard task.
