Thank you very much Mr. Micawber,

Well, let us say that two kids who are obsessed with geology and only read books on geology in their free time visit their high school library and discover that the library has very few geology books that they don't already have.

Gratefully,
Navi.

Then the 'to read' is confusing. Also, #2 is an uncomfortable structure here.

1) There are too few books in this library for us.
2) For us, there are too few books in this library.
3) There are too few books in this library.
