“suggestions on giving up books”
Our small local hospital takes them and sells them outside of the gift shop to support the volunteer program. $.50 for paperbacks, and $1.00 for hardbacks.
Hmmm....not sure our hospital does that, but I know our library takes donated material, plus they usually has a book sale at least once a year-or did before COVID. They also take music CDs and DVDs (in case some other declutterers need to get rid of those materials).
I shall have to check around!
