I should also point out that Dell, a big corporation here in Texas, does Library grants every year (or at least they used to.) My library received grants from Dell for 4 years (while I was working there, I was aware of it. I don't know if they are still receiving it.)
One grant was for computers and another was to be spent strictly on books.
Dell is not the only large corporation (or small one for that matter) that does these grants. Some of it is up to the librarians to know, understand and APPLY for them. They have to have programs that these corporations wish to support. My library works VERY hard to make sure they have these programs that qualify them for various grants.
Full Disclosure: I do not own a Dell and have never owned a Dell. I worked for them years ago, but have also worked at HP. I have no stock in Dell or HP. No horse in the race--but was darned happy that they gave my library a grant for books. It was a generous one and it meant a significant amount of books for the library.
