[CASL-L] Book recycler

[Mike McKenna]

Hi All!

We were Discover Books users here at Simsbury HS until they stopped
service and referred us to Bay State Books <https://www.baystatebooks.com/>.

We used their service for the first time this month and it went just as
smoothly as it previously did with Discover Books (driver arrived on
time, books can be kept on carts until loaded into their bins for removal).

They claim to have a 700 book minimum for pickup. Below is the automated
message I got from Discover Books last spring:

Thank you for contacting Discover Books.



As of March 15, 2024 Discover Books stopped doing pickups of books.



Our Bin network has been transfered to Bay State Books, who will provide
service from this point on.



Bay State Books also welcomes the opertunity to service anyone who wishes
to schedule book pickups.



Bay State Books can be contacted at,



617-203-1797 or libraries at baystatebooks.com
