Hi, The storage space in my library consists of cardboard boxes under our
wooden shelving. I have all my duplicate books (which I pulled because I
didn't have enough shelf space to accommodate duplicates), plus all the donated
books I put in our semi-annual book sale stored in boxes under the regular
bookshelves. I also have some vinyl records, VHS tapes and cassette tapes that
are no longer usable as practically no one uses those technologies anymore.
My Executive Director wants me to "beautify" the Library by getting rid of as
many boxes as possible. I'll probably transfer the books for sale to cubes or
tubs for a better "look", but I really should get rid of at least some of it as
it is threatening to overwhelm the library. I've tried a local used
bookstore that has a buy back policy, but they essentially have no need for any
Judaica. I'd be happy to donate anything anyone would like (I have over 100
books available, in generally good condition, with spine labels according to
the Weine cataloging system) for the cost of shipping to anyone who would like
them. Or if anyone knows of anyone who might need them--prisons?, Jewish
senior centers or nursing homes? or.......? Other suggestions also welcome!!!
I will only throw things away as a last resort. Many thanks!!
