We run a little library in front of our house. It's amazing how many people dump boxes of old books off in front of it hoping that they will find their way back into someone's collection.
The sad truth is the vast, vast majority of printed literature is neither interesting nor useful. People are not dumping off stacks of Umberto Eco. We frankly have to toss a lot of awful cookbooks, self-help books, trashy mass-market "novels", and sketchy religious works. As it is, even the stuff that makes it to the library is not very impressive.
