I never thought of putting technical books in these Little Libraries. I feel a little foolish now. I've probably thrown out some great starter books.
Time to change my wayward ways.

We have a little book exchange at work, which is a bookshelf with all the unwanted engineering books, mostly very old computing books because they get outdated quickly! : )
I offered (decent) books to my local library, but they refuse to accept any (despite there being just a total of three books that could be considered electrical-engineering-related in the entire 2-floor library currently - and in the Parenting books section bizarrely), because of Book Beaurocracy; there's no process for accepting them. And, according to the senior librarian, even if they could accept them, then their funding for new books gets reduced! You'd think that would reduce tax burden if people could donate, but anyway, ours is not to reason why.
