This is interesting. How can we make the logistics of it work? You've got a good idea which doesn't involve the head monk with a gun to code anything for determining book availability and needs. Anyone have any ideas how we can transport them cheaply?

At one point there was some discussion (of questionable seriousness) about setting up the monastery to be non-profit and accept donations. That would mean we could donate books to the monastery, as well as $ for shipping (each what they want to give). The books do not need to be actualy stored "at the monastary" (read: in vroom's closet), instead distributed as discussed.
