Louise,

Thrift Books has a warehouse here in CT where you can drop off (eliminating postage costs) or ship the books. I have used them in the past and they are great to work with. Here is the most recent info I received from them:

Good Afternoon,

I am writing this email to inform you of our exciting news. We are expanding and moving into a larger warehouse space, not too far from our current location. The address is: 295 Ella Grasso Turnpike, Windsor Locks, CT 06096. For those of you who ship via UPS & freight truck, this is just an FYI. We will internally change the “Ship To Address” for your UPS account.

Please expect a delay in processing all shipments. To maximize shelf life of your items, we are looking to begin processing all new shipments in early August at our new facility. You may still send shipments, they will be held in storage until processing begins.

For those of you who drop off at our warehouse, here are some directions to our location (starting on Ella Grasso Turnpike, coming off the highway):

· Drive past the “Airport terminal” sign

· Drive through 3 stoplights (the 3^rd is a Railroad crossing)

· Take next right on Choice Rd.

· Drive past chain link fence on right and take right at Bradley Premier Storage Sign (into a parking lot)

· Follow lot around to the right where you will see a sign that says “office” and our dock doors to the left

There are several warehouses within this large building. Your GPS will take you to the front of the warehouses. The directions above are to help you navigate to our dock doors. Please bring all new drop offs orders to the new location beginning Monday, July 21^st.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best regards,

Happy recycling,

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books and

interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who

must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware

of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to 1938)

Hello All,

I need some help disposing of some books.

I work at an inner-city high school that has not had a librarian on site for a couple of years and during that time some "kind" person/institution that I would dearly love to get my hands on - er, meet - donated more than 100 hardback copies of "Beautiful Chaos" by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. In case you don't know, that is the third book in the Beautiful Creatures series.

I also have more than 100 paperback copies of "Broadway Lights: Secrets of my Hollywood" life by Jen Calonita and am also engaged in a major weeding project.

In short, I have a huge number of books to dispose of.

While attending a professional meeting last year, I heard about a company that will take bulk books from libraries. If you know what this company is, or have worked with it before, please contact me.

I am not looking for money (although even a tiny amount would be nice) but a way to get these off my hands that does not involve numerous trips to the dumpster.
