If the ill-mannered Zerg swarm is not made to cease their antisocial behavior, then statue toppling will not satiate them. Book burning has happened far too often when demonic forces were at work.

If I may make a suggestion, the following categories are of critical importance to the future:

STEM textbooks of all kinds (science, technology, engineering, & mathematics)
Homeschooling material for all levels of education
History books not tainted by leftism
The Constitution
The Declaration of Independence
Classical scientific books and papers by well-known European and American scientists

Feel free to add to this list. It's best to have both physical paper copies and digital copies if possible.

Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation.
1 Corinthians 1611 AV KJ Bible
Chapter 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

I was lucky enough to start my collecting when the local libraries were purging their homesteading books from the 80s. There's a set of Harvard Classics, Encyclopedia Britannica, McGuffey's Readers and thousands more.

Re: I hope you're all preserving as many good books as you can
I would also like to suggest The Art Of War by Sun Tzu. Yuri Bezmenov said that students in the Soviet Union were forced to read it, because they were in a state of perpetual war. If enough patriots learn to think and act strategically, it can seriously turn the tides of what could otherwise be an impending disaster.
