Where can I donate books?

Im moving and I have some books that I have no desire to keep. Does anyone know where I can donate books?

Re: Where can I donate books?

some libraries may take them... they are very picky about it though... i usually just sell them on half.com

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.

Re: Where can I donate books?

Hospitals or nursing homes

Re: Where can I donate books?

longwood library takes them and gives a tax receipt

Re: Where can I donate books?

freecycle.org

or a senior center.

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.

Re: Where can I donate books?

I donate them to my local library too. Also, the thrift store in my town takes them too.

Re: Where can I donate books?

You can donate them to me!

Or you cna try someplace like salvation army, l'chaim society or St. Vincent DePaul. A lot of times they tkae items for thrift shops. But they can be picky. Also Partnership for the Homeless. Or seriously, you can donate them to me

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

Re: Where can I donate books?

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

Re: Where can I donate books?

My friends grand mother loves Jackie Collins and Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts etc...
