Love your positive thinking Robbo. 
You may have a good point since the libraries in the UK are under threat of closure.
I think I’d rather just give them a donation straight out – it saves the stress of hunting for the books, having to remember where they are, realising you’re one short and then having to dash out to the place only to find they’ve just closed …ops…..another day of fines…and it all starts again the next day.
At least they’d be in the car then rather than in the house…. but then I’d have to remember to call in at the library the next night..and the next…..and the next….
Except by then, junk will have been chucked in on top of the books and I’d forget they were there. Oh the pain….
Yep, straight donation is much better.
