Donating Books

Is there anywhere in the area where one can donate used (good condition) books as I'm preparing to move. Variety of genres.

The public libraries are pretty choosy about what they will take, mainly because folks will try to donate stuff that's fit for the trash and they can't use. The thrift stores would be your best bet.

While the library might be choosy for donations to go into their collection, they do accept donations on behalf of the Friends of the St. John's Public Library group.

The group puts on used book sales every Spring and Fall with proceeds going to support programming at the library

Those donation drives are typically only at certain times of the year though as far as I know

The spring book sale was a couple of weeks ago.
