    Just make sure to check with them before you donate; our library has space limitations and they place book donations in the book sale instead of on the shelf.

    Good point, Emma. Most of us can check on that nowadays with a simple email to the local branch. I had done just that last week, and was pleasantly surprised to see how easy the local program works. They will allow me to purchase and deliver them - or they will allow me to donate the funds and they will purchase them. I also inquired as to hardback/softcover editions - and of course they would prefer the hard cover if possible here. In our case - the local community will be moving into a new $8 Million library in June, so this prompted my idea to get them on the shelves here. Jeff

    I read somewhere that the reason libraries are out of these books is that possibly the JWs check the books out and "lose" them. Maybe they felt it was worth it to pay for a "lost" book than to risk having other JWs read this. They absolutely do not want any other JWs to know this "forbidden" information. Unfortunately for them, now the internet has defeated them in their crusade to hide information and silence critics.

    I think that Mouthy told me she has donated several copies of COC to the local library and they keep getting "lost". Maybe she can comment on this. Mouthy, where are you today?

    NYC libraries allow donations. I will check it out and probably do it myself

    Great idea Jeff! I want to check first and see if they have the books on the interloan system.

    Yup. Our donations are still being processed, however.

    We also donated Combatting Cult Mind Control by Steven Hassan. This is good because it is not "apostate" (doesn't specifically mention the Watch Tower Society) and thus permissible for active Witnesses to read. They will be interested to discover that the WTS shares many characteristics with the "Moonies."
