Subject: Re: [Mpls] Library Book Waste Redux
Chris writes with such logic..........
If a book doesn't sell at a book sale, then it should be given away. Like I mentioned in the article, if they have a shelf in the entryway with a FREE BOOKS sign, they could probably have given away the books quickly with very little hassle.
Anytime there are too many books........... please go to.......www.betterworldbooks.com They will sell the books online and donate the money to Books for Africa. Or give the book directly to Books for Africa. Does a child or an adult in South Africa really care if the book did not sell at a discounted price at the Friends. GIVE THE BOOK AWAY! I take books and give them to the food shelves, churches, community centers for children and will take any extra child's book available. There is another great
organization in town that drops free books off here and there with the idea that someone will pick it up and read it...www.BookCrossing .com It would take about the same amount of work to put up a table with a FREE sign..as it would be to haul them out to the dumpster. Junior League just had a big book drive...call them to find out when their next one will be and give them the books. Books as landfill...that doesn't sound like Minneapolis nice...
