A donated boo= k is as likely to end up in the 'friends of the library' sale as it is in c= irculation, and you have virtually no control over that. = A much better route is to contact your library, find out who curates the co= mputer manual collection, and talk with them first. A short document expla= ining what you want to donate and why it would be of use in the collection = might be of use also. I had a war tax protester friend who used to donate books for circulation e= very year with her tax money. It often took several months to get approval = for specific books to be approved for the circulating collection. Most of = the time she ended up just asking the library for a short list of desired b= ooks and would work from there. I don't know about your local library, but here in Multnomah County, OR, ou= r library also has an extensive ebook collection that can be checked out, t= hat might be an easier route to pursue to get such manuals added to the col= lection. = This message is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to w= hich it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confid= ential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
