<div dir="ltr">I disposed of ~2000 books from my parents' library across the 50+ little free libraries that cover the Hill. If you need help with your book disposal project let me know. I am happy to help because I suspect if you try to get rid of your books through used bookshops or the library they will just be tossed.<div><br></div><div>Jan</div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:jpostonday@gmail.com">jpostonday@gmail.com</a></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 4:19 PM James L Bullock <<a href="mailto:lamerloque@gmail.com">lamerloque@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">The used book shop at Eastern Mkt will take titles that are resell-able, and even pay a little bit. Otherwise donate to any DC public library- they generally hold for their periodic culling sales and use the proceeds to support library programs. After that, unfortunately, unsold books get pulped. There’s also the option of giving to the Salvation Army or a retirement home. If you have special sub-collections, there are other options. I gave my naval history and navigation books e.g. to a local NROTC unit and my Russian language books to a college student majoring in Russian.

Any suggestions on where to dispose of old (but still readable) books? I don't even know if used bookstores take them anymore. I don't need to get paid for any of the books. The bibliophile in my just can't stand to put a bunch of books in the trash (or
even the recycling).</div>

I am aware of the neat little free library stands posted on various streets, and I can put a few in those libraries, but I have more books I need to get rid of than those libraries can hold.</div>
