We have books like this too before entering the library proper. You donate whatever you can. Usually, .25 cents per book. The money goes to Friends of Library to purchase more books, materials, etc.
We are supposed to get a branch of the library, not far from where I live. I can't wait!
Our library is downtown. Have not been there in a couple of years. Not exactly safe downtown.
Nice library. Well lit and lots of windows and comfy seating areas.
