Are text books necessary when studying?

How can I donate old books?

  • I have a heap of old books, including old text books that I want to donate to charity. Most are probably too old for a University Student in OZ but is still fundementally sound for studying. eg Basic Management books etc. Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • Answer:

    I work in a library and we are always glad to have donations! Most libraries have a group call the friends of the library. They hold book sales once a month and people flock to these! The money that is made from these sales go directly back to the library and help fund new computers, library programs, etc....Last year our "friends" donated over $25,000 to the library! Plus, you can claim this on your taxes as a deduction.

Most two year colleges participate in Phi Theta Kappa who in return sponsor Better World Books. I'm sure you can drop the books off at the college near you. Good Luck!

Lifeline, Salvation Army, and other charities, have retail outlets where they can sell them. Call one of them. I'm sure they would be grateful for them.

Just drop them into any Salvo's, Red Cross or another charatiy bin. They will sort them out from there. Any help/donations that these group's get helps so many other people too. Hope this helps. :-)
