On donating old books

When I was in high school, I was a big fan of romance novels and love stories. Instead of watching TV, i read books which are usually from my dad. When i reached senior high, i got a good paying job so i was able to buy all the books i wanted. But the most unforgettable ones I got are from my classmates who sell books. And not just any ordinary books, they sold an entire collection of Mills & Boons for only $20! Imagine that! They’re second hand of course. Now I have a large collection of books, some of which are piled up in the garage because they wont fit my cabinet anymore. Mother suggested that I donate these books to the city library so that newer generations may be able to read them. I was Hesitant at first (too greedy) but after a few moments of thinking, I felt that donating would give me a sense of accomplishment. Something like being able to pass over knowledge to the younger generations.
