DO YOU HAVE BOOKS YOU DON'T NEED?


Better World Books
will take library discards and donations and use them to fund literacy initiatives locally, nationally, and around the world. They sell the books and donate some of the sales to non-profit literacy partners. And it costs you nothing. But, they will not take books from collections that have been "picked over" (offered to employees or the public). If they can't sell the books, they recycle them. The four major partners are: Books for Africa, Room to Read, National Center for Family Literacy, and World Education and Development Fund. They've given out over US$1.3 million since they started in 1994.
