(Anonymous) 2012-01-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)1. Donating other books does not make up for stealing different out of print books. At all. In any way. It's not like we can magically take ten Boxcar Children paperbacks and trade them in for a copy of Scary Stories. Book vendors don't work that way.
2. The most likely reason they had those ratty copies you took? Is because the titles are out of print and they're popular and they likely need to keep every copy they have circulating. Circulating means going out and coming back. Personally speaking? I've pulled my dupes and stuck them in storage for when my other copies finally fall apart so badly I can't patch them together again, or go missing because someone took them and never brought them back. And when that happens? I will have no spares and I will have to hope no one else takes them and never brings them back.
3. Some librarian is going to go through a list of long overdue or assumed lost items at some point and see those titles and go "Damn. That's out of print. Why do people always steal the stuff we can't replace?" And then that librarian will be sad. This librarian is sad. It's great that you love the books and want your own copies so you can have them forever and all, but that's not what libraries are for. Library books are for everyone.
Talk to the librarians. Explain to them that you'd really like to find copies of the books and ask if they'd be willing to sell you the copies you have. Otherwise you're going to have to live with the knowledge that you have effectively stolen books from children.
