Just a quick question: which groups here have WELL-STOCKED libraries?

Any tips you want to share on the Library systems?
I've posted this here before, but for Yan's sake:
Our group gave up on handling a library ourselves - too much material to
haul to meetings, track down delinquent borrowers, etc. Instead, since we
happen to meet at the Hershey Public Library, we started donating
materials to their collection. Doing so serves multiple purposes:
1. It makes them VERY happy with us, since we are one of the very few
organizations who meet there that does something to support the library.
(We're careful only to donate new, current books, not something a year or
two old)
2. It gives our members access to a current collection of resources
without our having to handle those resources; the libaray handles it all,
through established channels.
3. Yes, those materials are open to all library patrons, not just our
members, but what a great way to help evangelize the Mac! The Hershey
Library is known as the best place to find Mac books and materials.
4. Because book plates are put in each donated item referencing our
group, we frequently get new members from someone who borrowed a book or tape.
