| Summers Paperbacks |
Would you like to find a new home for the books you read this summer and buy cheap textbooks? Rather than putting your summer paperbacks on your (already full) bookshelves, take a moment to consider if you will ever read them again. Gently used books are in demand, if you can just find the right home for them.
When asked most people would suggest:
- Selling them online.
- Exchanging them with your friends.
- Donating to local Hospitals, Hospice and Assisted Living Facilities
- Donating to Thrift Stores and Charity Shops
- Donating to local libraries
