What's the proper way to get rid of books?
I mean it's bad juju to throw books in the trash right? What's the proper way to get rid of them? (with the least amount of effort)
You're viewing a single thread.
Check with your local library or schools to see if they accept book donations. If not, there are probably a few secondhand bookstores near you that will buy some of them from you.
Please check first and accept their answer if it’s a no! Do not dump your 1991 NatGeos without asking. Love, Librarians
Especially Nat Geos. Those things are valuable.
Really? I never knew - are people starting to warm up on collecting Natgeos or has this been a thing around your neck of the woods/world for a while?
I believe that may be sarcasm.
That'd be right, lol - thanks for the help parsing the context, I really did just assume it was earnest
This is the best way in my experience; I was able to get rid of over 20 filing boxes of books this way while helping my folks downsize their collection. It’s a small way to support your local library system, and I’ve had some excellent finds at thrift book stores/library sales over the years so it’s nice to contribute to that as well
