I agree -- my childhood library was hurting for titles.
If I knew it would go directly to the library, I'd gladly pay extra taxes to support them. As it is, I try to make a donation every 6 months or so. 'Course, I usually ask that they buy more ebooks, so that may not be helping them keep the doors open.
