Michele,



Do use the contact information that Lisa sent to you. That's where I've
been bringing my books for several years now. I don't believe they take
reference books though do touch base to see for sure.



In my experience, "other" countries don't want them. Too difficult to get
through customs, too expensive to ship; plus, it's often out of date
information.



Best,

~Valerie

Hi,

I have some reference books that I want to discard. Some of the teachers
have asked for me to see if anyone knows of a place where I can donate the
books. Their thoughts were that perhaps the books could be shipped to
another country. Any thoughts?
