Book donations

[minendo]

Are there places that take book donations? I have a bunch of old textbooks, answer manuals, other books that I want to get rid of but I do not want to just put them in the trash. Any ideas where I can donate these? Do libraries take such donations?

Libraries probably take them.

you can't sell them back? To say Follets or whatever?

Nope they are older editions. Damn Purdue professors think it is fun to adapt a new edition every damn semester.

You might check out amazon mike, a lot of people might want to buy them used.

There's lots of places. I did a used book drive for my Eagle Scout project (collected several thousand magazines and books). I think I ended up donating them to the Salvation Army, a children's shelter, a center for victims of domestic violence, and possibly a library. It's been several years, so I can't remember for sure. There are places, though. I'd definitely try the Salvation Army.

a used book store might even give you some money for them.

Or eBay.
