Also, if your state has district representatives you might mention this to them as they would probably know of a rural school system or public library that would appreciate getting them!

Check with local charter schools.  Many of them don’t have funds to even have a library on campus.  A donation like this could enable them to start one.

Subject: [SERIALST] Donation of deselected series

 

Hello all,

 

We have deselected a large mongraphic series (700 items) in which each item is a short "booklet" (15 pages). The title is "The Birds of North America." We work with Better World Books for the reuse of the majority of our deselected books, but they unfortunately cannot accept this title.

 

Does anyone know of organizations that will accept donations similar to this? Additionally, has anyone had experience with donating to local public libraries or schools in this way?

 

Many thanks!

Kate Niemisto
