- I blogged about (blank) this past week...
This week on Monday Musings, I have a bookish rant. I was recently cleaning up my bookshelf and trying to find a home for some books my dad rescued for me. My book collection has gotten so huge that the books finally exploded out of the cupboard. I decided "what the hey, I'll just donate some of the books I don't like or won't ever read to the local library". I would rather donate to the library where people can read the books for free, instead of donating them to value village or goodwill where people will have to buy them to read them.
When researching about the libraries policies on accepting a donation of books, they stated on the website that they discontinued to accept donations of books. Why? Because it costs too much money to put the books into the system. < I think that's kind of ridiculus. Wouldn't I be saving them money, they wouldn't have to buy the books like they do with the new, its a free donation. In my opinion I feel they'd save more money than spend more money.
So now I'm out of sorts with what to do with said books. I'd rather they be given out for free than people have to pay for them.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
