where can you donate books and magazines besides the library?

Question

Thanks you guys...i know..but where...like is there a website?

By the way my magazines are like seventeen, cosmo girls, cosmopolitian..

Answer 1

Books:
Depending on the content, a lot of people and groups would appreciate the books: Local schools, local churches, community groups, hospitals...I would just ask around.

Also, local coffee shops that have bookshelves may be open to books that would be of interest to their patrons and also have an attractive exterior to match the decorating style.


Magazines
...depends on how many you are trying to unload.

You might want to check with a group that works with non-english speakers (ESL classes, TOEFL Classes, etc.) Magazines could be a fun/easy tool for the people learning English to practice on a simpler writing style.

(Also...which ones...National Geographic will hold its value long after a People magazine will) Some school teachers might like some of these...Doctor's offices, anywhere with a waiting room. But you just can't dump them off in mass.

Someone moving might be able to use magazines and newspapers to wrap dishes.
