My guess is that a public library might take them and hope to sell some at a book sale, but that they'd probably end up secretly disposing of almost all of them. Maybe they'd take some for the actual library collection, but iffy on this without actually looking at the books in question. The one thing most libraries don't have a shortage of is outdated reference materials.
From first-hand experience I can say even if they take some for their collection, it's 90% likely to be as replacements for damaged or worn out books they already have, and also that the job of manually checking donated books against the catalogue is not much coveted. If you know your library regularly holds book sales, though, that's a good idea.
