Maybe not so much fun for the children if they have to go through all those books. This is something that our family is having to deal with now after the death of a beloved aunt. It's a lot of work to go through room after room of someone's extended library. In our case, most of the books will end up being auctioned off in lots. I kept a box of books that I wanted to read and couldn't find as ebooks, but there were many more that looked interesting.
This has given me the incentive to inventory and weed out my own library as I'd hate to have my kids go through this. Most of my pbooks are stored in the basement and it's been back-breaking work. It is satisfying, though, to watch the "donate" stack grow.

That'd be cool!
