What became of the books:

From Alpine's Newsline, September 2007

There are about 20 boxes of books at Alpine City Hall that the public are welcome to sort through and take home. They are the books that were donated to the Mountain Ridge Junior High library system several years ago.

Librarians from Timberline Middle School, Westfield Elementary,Alpine Elementary and the Mountainville Academy have met and divided up the books they wanted.

Rather than send the remaining books to Deseret Industries, the Council decided to invite the citizens of Alpine to come in and pick up the books they’d like to have for free.
