Dozens of books from H.B.
Beal Secondary School’s library, including works by Margaret Atwood and Lawrence Hill, were found at a London Value Village thrift store, months after about 10,000 books were removed in early 2025.
The discovery sparked concern over the disposal of school materials, prompting a pause in library reviews across Ontario school boards.
The school board has not explained how the books ended up at the store, though they were processed by Value Village on January 8–9.
While some view the resale as a way to keep books in circulation, others demand transparent, student-focused policies on book de-selection.
