I work in a public library and we really appreciate patrons letting us know if a certain collection (like quilting) is outdated. Sometimes the staff may not even be aware there is a demand unless someone points it out to us. Be sure to let your library know if a collection is old, and ask if they could they please consider updating it. It's your tax money, and libraries want their patrons to be happy with the selection.
I check out audio books all the time and listen while I quilt. Lots of books get read that way that I normally wouldn't have time for!
