Question of the Week:
We always talk about books that WE want. Let's turn it on its head.
What books have you given other people lately?
Answer:
I am a supporter of my local library. I donate boxes and boxes and boxes
of books over the course of a year. In fact, I just donated some books that
are going to be used in a warehouse book sale this month! Hopefully, someone
will enjoy them as much as I did!
Love to see your answers.
Please leave me your link and I shall return your visit asap!
Thank you for visiting and have a great weekend!
Yay for donating to the library!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! The way libraries are cutting funding these days, we have to pitch in to help save them!
DeleteI used to work in a library! Donations are a blessing/curse for the lowly library assistant lol. Happy Friday!

DeleteYou are so good to donate your books...I should really do that!! Since I have way more books than I know what to do with LOL Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would check with your local branch and see if they accept donations. Like I said, we have two major book sales going on this month and next!

DeleteI think it's wonderful you donate books to your library. I wish mine wasn't so selective on what they accept.

Thank you! Yeah, libraries do have a tendency of being selective. I always look for library book sales before I donate.
DeleteOOh that's nice of you! I have a working pile myself in my basement that I'll give them once it gets to be a little bigger!

DeleteOh, I want to donate to my library so bad. I'm going to have to find out how to do that. We're having a book sale in March :) New follower via Networked. Love your blog btw.
ReplyDeleteHappy friday :) Megan @ Megz Madd Readz
Megan, go right up to the front desk and say "HEY, I have a box of books I would love to donate to your book sale!" I'm totally sure they would accept them. If not, do a giveaway! Thank you so much for your kind thoughts about my blog!
DeleteI have a whole bookshelf I would like to pass on to someone. I should definitely go to the library!
ReplyDeleteStop by the reference desk and ask them first if they take donations. If not, try a local hospice or even a school. Thanks for stopping by Mei!
DeleteDonating is so nice. I never thought of doing that. I usually have a neighborhood group come and pick up my books/clothes/etc.. They give it to families currently in the shelter.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I'm your newest follower :-)
