Hello Helen,
The organization Jewish Prisoner Services International (JPSI) is
always looking for donations of Jewish books as well as ritual items
- things they refer to as "Dormant Judaica." I have found it a good
place to which to send overflow items where they will be appreciated.

I just received a donation of the book, Contemporary Jewish Religious
Thought: Original essays on critical concepts, movements, and
beliefs. This book has a copyright date of 1987. It has 1163 pages,
so it takes up a lot of space, and I have a limited amount of space.

Dear Jenny,
Ask people to stop sending their books, sit down with your committee,
and map out a collections developoment policy. If folks still send
books ( and they will) box them, and don't look at them until you're

If you have any books in Hebrew of religious nature not fit for
circulation, the folks at HebrewBooks.org will take them off your
hands and scan them in for their archive. The scanning process is

I also run a small donation based lending library - in our case, we tend to
