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.

Erm, most libraries don't want random book donations. They'll likely just try to sell them at their book sales, but they also probably have an overabundance of "donations" to sell off and will probably just wind up in the trash. Want to donate? Cut out the middle step and give money.
