What ever happened to the Bowers & Merena research library?

Throughout the QDB Commemorative Encyclopedia, the author makes reference to items contained in the Bowers & Merena Reference Library. Does anyone know if this library still exists, and whether it followed QDB to ANR, or whether it is still at B&M? I would think that QDB, on the sale of B&M, must have put a provision in the contract that the library was outside of the sale. Does anyone know if this resource still exists? I would hate to hear that it is either sitting unused at B&M gathering dust, or it was otherwise disbursed to save administrative costs. Does anyone know?

The stuff that was thrown out was useful archives and files, but none of the library went anywhere.
