Save 1,100 vintage science fiction books from destruction!

[Nightspore]

Onondaga Public Library in Syracuse, New York, has an enormous collection of roughly 1,100 vintage books in science fiction, mystery and "other genres." But apparently, there isn't enough interest to keep them in circulation. So they're asking people to propose what should be done with them.
The collection is in your hands! Want to offer a proposal to the library trustees about what should be done with this treasure trove of pulp fiction? You have until August 31 of this year. ~ io9

That's a lot of sci fi.

Looks like they want money for them....

It's too far for me to go on the bus anyway.

How much money do they want for the full lot (if they are willing to sell it all to a single buyer, that is)?

With so much available online for free I don't hold much hope that anyone will take them. I had a collection of over 400 hard cover books on history and archeology and couldn't find a taker for them at any price. Finally, just to clear out space I offered them for free and it still took a month to get rid of them.
