Feb. 20--Gripping classics such as "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and John Hersey's "Hiroshima."

"Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt" and other sweeping histories.

Even a lightweight biography of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.

These and thousands of other books in the Kenmore Public Library are on a computer-generated report that serves as the opposite of a wanted list.

Every book included on this report hasn't been checked out in at least the past two years.

For some books, the list is a death sentence. They will be shipped to the Central Library downtown for storage or sold at book sales.
