<p>[QUOTE="NewEngland, post: 2988809, member: 6071"]I used to volunteer at our local swap shop. We accepted current fiction and nonfiction books but no textbooks. They went out of date so quickly. Our advice was to rip off the hard covers and throw them in the trash, and put the paper pages into the paper recycling. There are very few places, especially libraries, which will accept textbooks or encyclopedias. We used to have a dropbox for books from a company that donated/shipped them to other countries, but they went out of business. It's a shame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
