Libraries get their books from several sources. Most of the collections are purchased from various book vendors such as Amazon.com, Baker & Taylor, and also the many publishers themselves. Another source is donations, either from large private collections or single book donors. How many you have from each source will depend on the size and type of library that you are in, how long they have been around, specialized interest in the collection, or specialized patron group. Also, if you have a book that you own that you no longer want, you can donate that, too. There are conditions that apply to donating your own books, though. They cannot have missing pages, be written in/have names in them, and have to look fairly good.
