help: Take My Library, Please

[jesse_the_k]

I’ve got around 400 books I no longer want to dust. (I'm saving my vision for new graphic novels.)

• 100+ science fiction or fantasy, dating back to Again Dangerous Visions from the Science Fiction Book Club
• 100 fiction, non-fiction, poetry standards found on the bookshelf of every 65-year-old feminist
• 40+ art topics including architecture, type, books, Celtic patterns, beadwork, songbooks
• 160+ disability related: theory, history, memoir — in print or graphic novel formats

I’m not interested in making money, and shipping them out would cost a lot as well. Almost all these titles are already available in my municipal and UW-Madison libraries, so donation seems unlikely.

MyGuy has volunteered to scan the titles into a database. That gives me a list, but what do I do next?

Buy Nothing. You join your local Buy Nothing group, post photos of them, and tell people when to come get them off your porch/carport with no face to face contact.

THANK YOU

[jesse_the_k]

for letting me know about this group. What a most excellent design, keeping things very local.

I forgot to say, you don't have to take a photo separately for each book

you can put eg 10 books in each photo, as long as people can see the covers
