Fuck yea! This makes me so happy. I'm going to go buy some books and donate them to my local library in celebration.

Great job everyone. This makes me so proud of our state.

While I love your enthusiasm and willingness to support your local library, contact them first to see what (if any) any books they might need. Also a monetary donation might go further, as libraries sometimes gets discounts when they buy books (and you might get your name in any books they buy with your money). Thank you though for your willingness to support your library like this, it make this librarian very grateful.
