[CASL-L] Place for excess books

[Dawn Zillich]

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 3rd 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 21st.



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.
