Given the speed of developments in our industry, and the nature of linux books as technical references for current software usage, I think a traditional library model just doesn't work very well; especially when ALUGers are so geographically dispersed. I think disbanding would be appropriate.
Some of the books were utterly out of date when I had the library which was erm, 7 years ago :)
I think disbanding it by offering the books on here is probably the best way forward and then putting the rest into a book bank so they can be assessed for value and either resold or pulped into new paper products.
