After we first moved to this area my wife decided to thin out her collection of writing reference books. These were good ones she had taken the trouble to move up here with us. She took them to the nearby small town library to see about donating them. She was told that donations are never shelved, they go on the $0.50 table at the annual book sale. Only books purchased by the library from the "approved" list are shelved.
My wife then took them to the local high school to see if they could use them. The high school happily took them to use as in-classroom supplemental material (these were reference books), but they would not be added to the library. But at least they were polite about it and were happy to distribute them to the appropriate teachers.
So if your library has used book sales as a fundraiser, next time check the tables and see if your book is there.
