We all have 'em. Boxes, drawers, shelves, bags of books sitting around that we've read and don't know what to do with. We've discussed some places to send them in the past, but I'll add another to the list, courtesy of Dear Author:
Cedar Rapids, Iowa suffered a terrible flood this summer and as a result the Cedar Rapids Public Library was nearly destroyed. Federal funds are being used to rebuild but there are no funds to replace the 20,000-30,000 books destroyed as a result of the water damage. If you want to donate books for the library or items that are suitable for sale on eBay to raise funds, you can send those to Mystery Cat Books at 112 32ndSt S.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 52403.Sure, you'll have to pay shipping, but you can send them slow boat...no pun intended.

Thanks for this information. There are so many people who need help. (sigh) Terrie
Libraries are usually in need of new books when disaster strikes, as mentioned here, or when budgets are cut due to economic times. I often purchase books for my research because the library I frequent doesn't always have the information I am looking for. When finished with my project I donate those books to the library so others might enjoy them.
This was a good post to highlight the information.
