Recently a friend of mine asked me what he should do with all of his books. I responded with a question. Do you think you will re-read any of the books you have? His answer was no. OK, there you have it. If you have books and you are not going to read them, then it is time to pass them along to someone else who will.
Here are your options:
1. Donate the books to your public library. Many public libraries hold annual book sales. The proceeds benefit your public library. You get the tax donation and the library gets the much needed funds. On a side note, instead of buying books you might want to think about getting a library card for yourself.
2. Sell the books. If you think your books are of value, you can sell them on eBay. It is a very simple process.
3. Donate them to Goodwill. Not everyone is a fan of Goodwill. Here are my two cents…Goodwill employees people with disabilities, and usually people who would not be employed anywhere else.
4. Share with friends - host a book exchange with your friends…out with the old and in with the new.
Happy reading.
