Are you referring to East Bay Children's Book Project? That is where I have
been donating.

Children's Book Project took a whole bunch of my weeded library books at the
beginning of this year. Maybe I overwhelmed them and they changed their
policy but they did take them in the past.

Just checking this email train to see where people are donating their used
library books these days.
The Children's Book Project does not take weeded library books and the Bay
Area Book Exchange is no longer open. Friends of the Oakland Public Library
does not want K-12 weeded books right now. Better World Books is not taking
K-12 library books to sell. Rats! The books I have are mostly older
classic 6-8 titles (e.g. extra copies that have never been checked out by
Katherine Paterson) or paperback K-3 chapter books like Magic Tree House.
Does anyone know of a Bay Area based place to donated used library books?
Thanks for your help!

We also are doing a massive weeding project so I have contacted local
charities … one woman in the San Diego area works with several different
charities including juvenile hall for teenage girls … she has been able to
forward/donate all the books we've given her so far (and she picks up) but
it is slow going… only about 12 boxes a week.
Will Better World Books leave you a bin?
Thanks,

Subject: [baisl] Ways to donate weeded books?
I am doing a massive weeding project. Most of the books are too out-of-date
or damaged to bother donating, but I will definitely have a substantial
amount that could go on to a good home. What do your libraries do?
Better World Books and San Francisco Public Library Friends won't take them.
I would need to find a place that does pick-up or free shipping because I
take public transit to work.
Thanks!
