Book exchanges are great. If some people take books without donating books, that's really not a problem, there are going to be plenty of people looking to get rid of books. I can't stand the idea of throwing away books, when I don't need them anymore, I'll donate them where ever I can. That being said, you may have to thin the stacks of the book exchange now and then. The very best books probably aren't going there - some books are keepers - and if no one wants it, it might as well not take up shelf space. Like a book on Windows 95, probably no one is going to want that. Vandalism is potentially a problem. You would like to have this where anyone can get at it whenever they want, but some people will destroy anything.
