Do you actually have any proof that many of those books were
not available in the school libraries 40 years ago (and please limit yourself to those books that were published more than 40 years ago)? And unlike what many people seem to think, the library in an elementary school will not have the same books as a middle or secondary school library. Even in some of the unified schools, the libraries have sections for the different age levels.
