When you're done reading your books

[Einstein99]

donate them to your local library. I live in Alabama, and my library would have no books by liberal authors if I didn't donate them. I think of it as "one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind."

4. New Orleans

libraries suffered greatly. I believe there are programs out there to ship books to New Orleans to help build back their libraries.

5. Our local library resells them for $.50

they don't put them in the collection - no matter what they are but sell them to raise money. When I found that out I stopped giving my great books to them, for what they make on them I'd rather give them out at Dem meetings to get passed around and actually read. They can sit at the library for six months before they end up in a sale and by then some of them are too dated to be much good.

6. Harr!!!

My library does the same thing & it royally pisses me off. They told me that some books will make the library shelves, but they cannot tell you which ones they want or call you to retreive your books that will not. How stupid is that?

I'd rather leave them in a popular laundromat.
