Eliminate Yellow Pages

The crazy thing is that about 2 months ago AT&T dumped a big ugly blue plastic display at the library to dispense yellow pages. It's about 5 feet tall and holds a lot of books. The discussion among librarians was that it was hideous and that we'd get rid of it as soon as it was proven that no one wanted any. Turned out that that our biggest actual problem with it is that people took them so quickly that kids used the display as something to clamber on.

AT&T now comes once a week to keep it stocked. And yes, people take them, all the time. I guess it's just proof that people will take anything free.
