[Vision2020] A bummer.......

[Ron Force]

OK, these books were donated, which means their owners no longer wanted
them.  The're then picked over for two days, for sale at ridiculously cheap
prices by everyone, including book dealers. What's left is what NOBODY
wanted. Why would a library of any size want them? To whom would a bookstore
sell them?

Books don't burn well, so they can't be used for fuel. Because of covers,
glue, etc. they're difficult to recycle. The only thing left is the
landfill.

or donate to a used book store or something (maybe a little town library?)
... I'm sure there is a use someplace.

I was at the library book sale late this afternoon. As
they were taking all the books away, I asked where
they were going, and was told the recycling
center........

I realize there were TONS of books left over, as an
avid reader it really made me sad to think of a book
being thrown away!  Isn't there any way to send them
to some people who need books?
