Free Books

[CLECKHECK 10]

Due to lack of space I have a few dozen books to dispose of and would welcome advice on how to do so.  I would be glad to hear from any local library, other organisation or individual who would be willing to collect and use them as I am reluctant simply to recycle the paper.  Most are hardback and include political and other biographies (Thatcher, Blair, Blunkett; Michael Parkinson, Stephen Fry, Alan Bennett et al), fiction (classics, detective stories, etc) and books of general interest. Replies on this forum or PM acceptable.

Sheffield Libraries do accept books - if they are not needed for their stock, they would put them on their FOR SALE shelves and us the money to buy new books. 

I am sure you will get other suggestions too such as local charity shops.

Are you not able to take them to a charity shop?

They would be appreciated by Greenhill Library if that location is convenient for you !

Unfortunately I am housebound but would be glad to give them to a public library if they could collect

Or ask SCCCC's if they could do it - they seem to be able to do most things!

Thanks for replies.  I'm glad to say that a public library is taking the books and has arranged to collect them.
