Donating Books


A recent newspaper had an article about finding homes for 
our old "friends": books.  Some of the places on the list
pick up books, some you have to ship to but it is a nice 
list to save for future reference.  The point is to 
keep the books out of the landfill.

Don't forget about your local used/rare bookstore.  They 
will sometimes take donations of books that they can't purchase. 
Remember, used bookstores don't receive tax money like libraries do, 
so if you have a local used bookstore - that PAYS taxes, I suggest 
going there first with your donations.
