Re: Where can I donate books?

Re: Where can I donate books?
Half.com is def. a good option if you want to make $, but sometimes it takes forever to sell.
Most university libraries will take them for a tax write-off.

Re: Where can I donate books?
Thanks. I would do something online but I have ZERO time to set something up. I was hoping to drop stuff off and be gone with it.

Well I don't know how great MY mind is but I do consider throwing books away to be a sin. It is the educator in me. I was reading fluently at 3 years old and if contributing books either helps a person to learn, increases their vocabulary or enhances their creativity, I am all for it.

Re: Where can I donate books?
I usually donate them to the public library. Some take them and some don't, but I live near a branch that takes everything and sells them throughout the year. The branch I used the most only took them at certain times, when they were having their semi-annual sale.
I also drop them off at thrift stores, who will sell them and the money goes to a good cause.

That's different then!
A senior center is a good idea. I don't know about schools. A lot of schools won't accept books

They certainly would not accept the books I have unless Jackie Collins is in the curriculum

Re: Where can I donate books?
When I was at the Smithhaven mall the other day, by the information booth they are having a book drive. They said they'd be there for about another month. The proceeds supposedly go to some type of children's organizaiton, but I don't remember the name.

Re: Where can I donate books?
Cooper they are yours but there arent as many as I thought. Some are novels and I saved my texts books from grad school and college. I already have my masters 10 years.
