I agree, but the library accepts the donations at the front desk and that is not where the decisions are made. I told people who made the donations, but sometimes the books were put in a donation box or given to other people who were very busy and might not have time to explain the policy. Only the acquisition librarian in our library made the decision and she wouldn't do it on the spot either. She had to go look up the books, see if they were well-reviewed and apply criteria...
No one was making fun of their ignorance.
