 Time to donate booksGot Books? Don’t Throw Them Out—They’ll Pick Them Up!
Kids have books, lots of books, and they outgrow them as quickly as shoes. If you are like most people you can find those books stashed all over – on shelves, in toy boxes and just about anywhere they can be squirreled away. They gather dust, they get dumped all over the floor and they take up space!
One solution is to donate your outgrown books to a group that will put them to good use. One such group is Got Books. Got Books supports the community by giving away books to teachers for classrooms, donating to schools, libraries, other groups in need or selling them in book sales or online.
As Got Books has a focus on reuse and works to keep books out of the waste stream. Children can learn lessons both about the value of giving back and the importance of protecting the environment. Even donating a single book means it will find a new reader and that it is one less book that will end up in the trash. Have fun with your child imagining where their book might end up.
Got Books makes it easy for you to donate - they’ll pick up books, CDs, DVDs video tapes and audio books at your home or you can drop them off at one of their many local donation containers. Don’t think this is limited to just the little ones either - you can donate all of your adult books, cookbooks, textbooks, and many of these will be used for their Books for Troops program.
Once you’ve donated all of the books which are no longer age-appropriate for your kids, you may just have some free bookshelf space to fill. Each Friday and Saturday Got Books hosts a Charity Book Sale where there are over 50,000 items to choose from. The sale is held at their North Reading warehouse, located about ten minutes north of Boston. With all items retailing for just $1, it’s certainly worth the drive.
To schedule a pick-up or view a complete list of available drop-off locations visit www.GotBooks.com or call 978-664-6555.
