in why my public library is not much of a money-saver on brip blap
I used to donate to my library. Hundreds of dollars of books. But I noticed over the years that a core group of volunteers, older, probably retired folks, glean the books for lst editions, sellable books to hawk on websites, etc. ....so, when the library has sales, it's mostly crap. :(

Just my sad two cents.

OTOH, retirement homes and hospitals love book donations. I have been a patient a few times and really appreciated the books and magazines.
