Sad but true. Now then it's probably a matter for private libraries, not public ones. Often times I think of initiatives like this public bookcase in Giromagny, France....
... and how it certainly is futile effort when those who keep those initiatives tidy - or even worse people who take access to it - again sort out books they don't like. On the other hand if I operated a very small bookcase initiative like this in Berkeley, USA ...
... I'd certainly sort out books I don't like myself as well. It's exasperating. So instead of giving those books to libraries it might perhaps be a straw to hold on to occasionally distribute such inexpensive books individually into such public private yet publicly available bookcases so that they can circle.
And then again I think of tracking those books somehow, too, to be able to know if they are forgotten, lost, even destroyed, or still in circulation - and maybe publish insights about this.
But then I think again of decentralized, open, censorship-resistant social media and that the time of political books may indeed be over, even without book burning. Don't we live in a time of media industry and therefore mass media will probably not make the difference anymore? Then it is certainly better to give $ 4,000 daily to monitored social media users like Marc De Mesel is doing with https://noise.cash, instead of stacking books somewhere no one will find them.
Advertising The Tuttle Twins there might be worth the effort for more people buying them - and gifting them privately again.

Awesome thoughts, I'm considering contacting Connor Boyak to see if he could do are books for private libraries. He might!
My pleasure. Now I wondered whether I find you at https://noise.cash/ironshield, but I don't. You might contact https://noise.cash/u/MarcDeMesel as well if you can stand him. !invest_vote !ENGAGE 20
