I do not think this is needed. The possibility is known to the community.

or by individuals.

I personally have a network to get some library scans for free and the
University Library Düsseldorf is offering since years the possibility
for registered users to suggest pre-1900 books for their digital
collections (for FREE). You can contact me if you find something
interesting in the pre-1900 Public Domain in the Düsseldorf OPAC:

http://katalog.ulb.hhu.de/

I have published this fine option to enrich the digital Public Domain
several times in my blog http://archiv.twoday.net and have also
reported on the also FREE Grenoble service:

Only for Danish books FREE is the Kopenhagen service I mentioned at

http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/197336195/

Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. supports the German Wikisource community
with funding to let books digitize by libraries.
