<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3505694, member: 19463&quot;]Technology has changed library donations, too.&nbsp; Books donated to our local library are scanned to see if they are worth selling to a broker.&nbsp; Books that sell used on Amazon for under the trigger amount are sold at book sales for $1.&nbsp; Ten years ago you could get some good things at these sales but now it is pretty much the things not worth the postage to ship off.&nbsp; They never put a donation on the shelves.&nbsp; Libraries are not all books anymore.&nbsp; They get more daily patrons using the public access computers that they do people who check out non-fiction books.&nbsp; They eliminated almost all reference books because the material people want now is easier to find online.&nbsp; They do a lot in fiction and children&#039;s books.&nbsp; There is no reference desk but librarians will help you do a Google search.&nbsp; Times are changing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True.&nbsp; That was not the case in 2002.&nbsp; The equivalent today would be images online but the number of images online then was a fraction of what there is today.&nbsp; I do suggest keeping one older computer with USB, CD, 3 1/2 and 5&quot; drives parked in a closet just in case you want to access the files you backed up 20 years ago.&nbsp; Of course you can pay someone who has a drive if it comes up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
