I can understand why they want to control what is in their account. But I also think it could still work with a process flow as illustrated below:
1. User selects and purchase epub for donation.
2. E-mail is sent to library representative stating patron xxx is donating book YYY. A timer is started, if no response from library in 7-14 days, donation is canceled and e-mail sent to patron stating no response from library.
3. Librarian logs onto overdrive and accepts/rejects the book.
4. If book accepted, charge credit card and place epub in libraries account.
5. Place 3-4 day hold on book with donating patron as 1st in line for book.
6. If book rejected.
7. E-mail sent to patron stating library is declining donation.
This flow would allow people to donate while still giving ultimate control to the library. I believe the type of book that the vast majority of people would donate would be acceptable.
