In college I worked in the astronomy department and was able to pick up some large mounted prints of nebulae, planets, galaxies, etc. I displayed them in all of my residences until I came here. They are now over 45 years old and look dated to me since the Hubble telescope can produce so much clearer photos. Still I didn't have the heart to toss them so they were relegated to the back of my closet. This summer's reading program theme is outer space and the committee was looking for ways to decorate the library. I offered the pictures. My only proviso was they weren't to be returned (the committee has plans for them.) Therefore... I don't have to throw away things I enjoyed for years, the library will get a free 'outer space' ambiance, and whoever in the future is cleaning out my closet will be a little happier.
