My recap/summary of another person's suggestion...

It may prove wasteful and limit the choices, but one simple solution would
be to request large batches of CDs from Conical, maybe put a GLUG sticker on
each and place them in the community information racks at the libraries.

Ubuntu ShipIt is down while they switch over to shipping Feisty Fawn so I
cannot tell you how many you can order at a time. But this is what the FAQ
says:

How Many CDs Can I Order?
When you log in to your ShipIt account, you can select from a number of
different standard options. You can also make a special request for
different quantities, but please note that this will take longer to process.
We will consider special requests if you are a teacher giving CDs to your
students, or if you are distributing CDs at a conference or other organized
event. If you experience any problems with ShipIt, please: Email

Conical also sells large quantities (100+) for EUR 1.50/CD.
