If money isn't really the issue....I was so grateful to my colleague for opening up her closet of books to me when she retired. The teacher whom I replaced also left many books in the closet when she left and I've used many of them over the years. A couple of years ago I decided I didn't need all of them in my closet but thought they'd still be useful to have around so I asked the school librarian to add them to the professional development shelf she has in the back of the library. Some people probably want to buy their own books, but you might have people in your building who would enjoy you sharing your resources with them. Natasha
I hope many of you do not mind me asking an off-topic question. I am retiring this year after 35 wonderful years of teaching. Over the years I have collected many (100++) professional books. One of my goals for retirement is to clean out my house so naturally I need to send these books to new homes. Does anyone know of a website or a way to sell these books? I have thought of putting them all on Library Thing so people could look at them and then purchase them. Is there a better way? My love of books makes me want someone to have them that would read and enjoy them as much as I have!
