I have a lot of books from when I was younger that I have outgrown and some that I just don't want anymore. I want to get rid of them but I don't want to just throw them away. Does anybody know of a good place that would take them?

I am not from Detroit, but I have some ideas that would work for wherever you are.
Goodwill.
Local public library or school
Children's wing of the hospital.

Clinton Township (where Partridge Creek is) is about 1/2 hour drive from the city of Detroit. Clinton Township is completely safe. The village of Clinton, Michigan, however, is down by Tecumseh, kind of SE of Jackson.

some shelters house family's, they may want them for the children that stay there. It is a sad thought that children are homeless but they are. I am sure they would love to have a book to read. Here in Kalamazoo they let the family's stay for up to 2 years. I think a book might put a smile on their face.

Try the local Veterans Hospital or the civilian Hospital.

This is good for anyone, anywhere, not just Detroit.
Check out http://bookcrossing.com/ it's a fun and free way of 'releasing' your old books into the wild. :)

I would check with the local churches, donations are always needed.

There is a website called paperbackswap.com where you can swap books you don't want for books that you want.

Usually your local library will be happy to take them.

there is a used bookstore @ 12 & hoover. They will probably take them off your hands - they may even pay you for them!
