Advice to the teenager:
Just like a seamstress measures twice and cuts once, when you’re sending an email, especially when you’re on your high horse, read it three times before you hit send or you’ll end up looking like an ass.

I love seeing all the library support, but here's some realistic ways to help, from a former public librarian:
- Circulate materials. Budget is often based on circ not only overall, but genre/category as well
- Volunteer as a shelver if that's something they do
- Don't "donate" your old crappy books
