Hardback Books

What do I do with hardback books that are no longer needed?

First suggestion:

DONATE USED BOOKS, MUSICAL CD'S, AND DVDS
The Athens Regional Library System accepts gifts of money, books, films, pamphlets and the like with the understanding that the library may do with them as it sees fit. These items may be taken to any library for donation. The library staff will go through the items and determine if they can be used in the library. If they cannot be used in the library, they will go to be stored for the next Friends of the Library book sale. Visit http://www.clarke.public.lib.ga.us/arls/support/index.html for additional information.

Second suggestion:

If you are interested in making sure your books have a chance to be
re-read, contact Ed Smith by phone at 706-743-8271 or e-mail at mediamonds2006@gmail.com. He will re-distribute them to schools, libraries, individuals, daycare centers, or otherwise keep them for his own use. He will also trade with you out of his own large collection. Pick-ups at your home by appointment.

Third suggestion:

If those books can't be reused they can be recycled. Just bring them to the ACC Landfill - click here for location and hours of operation. For additional information, contact the ACC Recycling Division at (706) 613-3512.
