Old Encyclopedia Set...What to do with it?

[FrugalGuy]

I have an 23 volume old World Book Encyclopedia set from 1986. I was wondering if there's any way to give them away or put it too good use instead of throwing them away. Any suggestions?

I would donate them to a local library or school. I have never seen a school refuse free books.

These are from 1986. I doubt the library will even want these. I tried selling them to a used book store and they even said it was too old

Worthless, I don't like trashing books but these are an exception

We have a bookcase full of encyclopedias/other world book stuff from the 80s.

They just sit there. I honestly don't think one has been opened in about 5 years.
