[CASL-L] weeded books - what do you do with them?

[Michele Eligio]

I second using them for Makerspace projects (see pics - one is shown with
magazines but certain books have worked). I also let the classroom teachers
take discarded books. Lastly, I do donate books that are salvageable to
public libraries for book sales.
