Barry, I applaud your efforts to put your books where they'll do the most
good.
The Ann Tarbell Library at Radnor Lake would be a very good place to donate
your books, I think, or to the library at the Warner Parks Nature Center.
More
people need to know and use both these locations, and a little publicity
about
either of them might do some real good. I've been in a position to use both
of
these facilities numerous times over the years, and if more people were made
aware of them, it would serve the greater good of the community. Maybe
something could be sent to the Newshawk, the Nashville TOS newsletter to
spread the word.

I contacted our local Smyrna Public Library in reference to donating books
to the library. I have quite a collection of guides to birds in different
areas of the world - Australia, the Indian subcontinent, Wallacea, East
Africa,
Southern South America just to name a few.
I know that as a kid if I walked into my local little public library and was
able to checkout a book like a huge Princeton publishers Guide to the Birds
of India and surrounding countries and was able to look at pages and pages of
beautiful exotic birds like babblers - I would have been a very happy lad
indeed.
So I contacted the library in reference to this but have heard nothing back
from them. I did consider that a donation like that might be relegated to the
Reference book section and that it also might create alot of work to make
room for a large number of books.
Is it possible that the Anne Tarbell Memorial Library could make use of
these books? I don't know if that library is only concerned with local birding.
I do still look at the books from time to time and I thought that if I
donated them to a local library I would still have the option to check them
out or
view them at the library but wherever they could be of use is actually more
important to me.
Thanks for advice from any birders. I know this has nothing to do with TN
birds at all.
