The thought of throwing books away is blasphemous to literature-lovers such as we. Even when they are old, tattered and written about stuffy subjects, I can’t stand the thought of trashing them. Someone, somewhere might want them and love them.
That being said, I’m also not a fan of clutter, so I devised a way to get my orphaned books in the hands of new parents. I’ve erected a book case by our back door where patrons can purchase used hardcovers for $1.00 and paperbacks for 50¢. Just grab what you’d like and take it upstairs and a server can ring you up or add it to your bill. Additionally, there is a “free bin” for books that are irreparably damaged. They make great craft fodder.
Proceeds from the book sale will be used to purchase new books for the library. Book sale prices only apply to items stamped “NEVERMORE.”
THANK you for recycling your wonderful old books………….. I shall stop by 🙂 🙂
