VPL's collection fo Ubuntu books is abysmal (politely).
Randall's VPL research:
18 Ubuntu titles (most of them out of date or unavailable.)
>1000 Windows titles
>100 Vista titles.
Here's what you can do to fix this (i.e. hack the library):
1) Donate your Ubuntu books
2) Suggest a purchase
3) Order the official Ubuntu CD and donate it.
Instructions on how to donate and suggest: http://www.vpl.ca
