I have a number of books/scrolls that have just been left outside in the rain after... things... happened.  They don't seem to be (d)umpable or anything else that would enable me to get them inside the fort, and presumably eligible for filing in the library.

Any tips on getting dwarves to go pick up the bloody things and bring them inside?

Dunno. I had a weresomething show up carrying a book once. It hung onto it until it switched back to whatever it was on its day job, allowing my military to finally kill it. The book stayed outside where it had died until Toady released a new version and I quit playing that fort.

The only thing I can think of is to have a dwarf with enough free time to want to read it.

You did build a bookcase in the library, right?

Maybe the book is owned by someone. Try forbid it for a while to see if it can be dumped agained.

This happens a lot when guests bring their own items. And my mercenaries tend to use their own armor than better armor I provide them.

Very likely the same bug (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9485) as in this thread:

Excellent catch Martinuzz... I added a note on Mantis about it.  It looks to be the exact same issue.
