School librarians - I need your opinion

DH has brought home a big glossy book about the 2012 Olympics. His employer was a sponsor and is giving the books away. He thought it might be welcome in our DC's school library.

It's a very attractive book, but I'd describe it as a "coffee table" book - useful in a corporate reception area for flicking through while you're waiting for a meeting, less useful in a short-of-space secondary school library, where it will probably gather dust. It's certainly too large for anyone to take home in a school bag, and probably doesn't contain any pictures or facts that couldn't be found online.

Should I donate it to the school or take it to the charity shop?

Doesn't your DC want it? Mine would love flicking through a book like that, but they are both under 12. You could always ask your DC's school librarian directly, but if not wanted there could you give it to DC's old primary?
