As an update to this post, it seems that the situation with the EPA library is getting worse.
Presumably in response to a congressional request to halt the closure of its libraries, the EPA is removing thousands of documents from its web servers, and has sold $40,000 worth of library furniture in their Chicago library for a total of $350. The woman who bought the furniture is estimating that she will re-sell it for $80,000 (perhaps when the EPA changes course again and buys its own furniture back).
(Darn! I could use a few good bookshelves right about now at a bargain price!)
