Ah....big deal. Kinda like moving...if you haven't had a need for it in a few years...throw it out! We've survived lotza years without these old pieces of jiberish...so what would we do with them now?

Let me have one or two and I'll use 'em to grill some burgers....anyone want cheese on theirs??

Your comment reveals a profound ignorance of how ancient ideas have affected modern thought, religious and secular -- and hence affected the moral and political ideas and intitutions which constitute our modern world. The foundations of mathematics, formal logic, music theory, political theory and, of course, philosophy, are contained in the ancient world. Not to mention the emergence of drama, painting and sculpture as mature art forms. In addition, the library may contain manuscripts shedding new light on the origins, practices and beliefs of ancient Christianity.
