Hospitals/Treatment Libraries | |||||||||||||||||
Why not start a non-profit that collects people's books, cds, dvd, and vhs tapes that they no longer want and wish to donate. Then take what has been collected and build mini-media libraries at hospitials and chemo therapy locations? Such a non-profit could establish drop off points or have their items picked up just like the Goodwill.

Haven't you ever noticed that none of the good things dropped off ever make it out the front door of Good Will? Anything good is stolen out the back door and taken home or sold. Contribute directly to the hospital in your area, I think many of them have something like you are talking about managed by volunteers.
This is one such Patient Library
El Camino Volunteer Staffed Patient Library
Or maybe have a mobile library that services such sites and rotates their entire contents from one site to the next every four months or so. That would be a more efficient use of resources, at least at facilities where there are long-term patients.
