It seems more like the customer is handing over $5 and being given a mystery book/s. Are the books a little like the poppies given for donations in November? Sounds more like you're buying them. Odd.

BN has a selection of books at the register which are all going to be around 5 dollars, generally under. The customer "donates" the cash by buying the book which is then donated to whichever charity that particular store is associated with for the holiday season, each store will have a different one and if you ask the cashier should be able to at least tell you the name.
The charities are all going to be focused on getting books in the hands of Children's/YA audiences though the selection they have at the registers is on the far younger end of that spectrum.
