The high school library is beautiful and such a big place, but I was surprised by how sparse the stacks were. I really hope that the school kids of Northbridge High School really enjoy the donation. It feels good. But my goodness, I still have a ton of books here that I have no place to put them!
I hope that when you decide to clean out your bookshelves, floor, closets or wherever you keep your books that you'll call your local high school or public library and see if they'll take them. I have a feeling they will.
It's great to give books to people who love to read. If you're a member of Bookmooch.com, you can also donate books to schools, prisons etc. It's a good way to get rid of books you don't want anymore. :)
ReplyDeletesurprisely i have tried to give a bunch to mine and they won't take them at all. even new releases. sucks. they say they dont take donations.
ReplyDeleteI just gave away a bunch of books on my blog, and I tought about giving them to schools and librairies here, but I live in a french community and no one takes out the english books =/
ReplyDeleteEven the used bookstore here doesn't want them. it's a pity.
