[Usittne] Books!

[Joy G Emery]

Our dump in South Kingstown, RI had a separate shed "library" for people to take unwanted books. Maybe there is something like that in your area?

Cosmo, 


I don't know how Western MA is with out-of-date law books and encyclopedias, but I had really good luck with posting on CL when I needed tons of books. Of course, I only needed to fill 6 bookcases, not an entire stage, but still - I found that many people have law books and encyclopedia sets that they don't know what to do with...especially if you offer to come and get them!

Contact some publishers to see if they have duds in warehouses costing 
them money to store. 
? 
Have each student borrow lots of books from the library :-) 
See if your local dump pulls books out for recycling 
I am out now (maybe I was at my second suggestion.
