Many readers frequent used bookstores, or UBS as they are known in 'Net lingo. Sometimes, though, even your faithful UBS has more than they can handle. Or you may not have a UBS near your house. So I put my head together with veteran reader and avid book collector Deb Barber from Edmonton, and we came up with a list of ideas for new homes for used books. Contact your local hospitals - they often have booksales and will take any freebie book they can lay their hands on.
Some hospitals keep used books on hand for patients.
They can take the book with them when they leave to go home. Contact the battered women's shelters in your local area. You wouldn't believe how fast these books disappear when you drop them off. I found this out totally by accident when a friend of mine, in moving, accidentally sent some of my books to the battered women's shelter. They came in here and in ten minutes they were all gone.
