Since I'm hearing mixed info on them....they wanted to charge me $200 to pick up (apparently their policy, unless your books are all text books); however, another librarian on here said she had no pick-up fee.
Can anyone weigh in on this?  If their fee structure is inconsistent, I may have to call them out on it!

Good Morning!

Mary H. from Follett recommended this organization to me:

Agawam Mass book donation:

Bridgeport Bindery in Agawam Mass to take their books that they were discarding.  They said they even provided the boxes!  http://www.bnbindery.com/

 

I haven't used them yet...

Hi all- I am need of an organization to pick up weeded books.  I thought I had found the perfect company for my first pick-up (I guess I'll refrain from naming them on this list), but they've since blown me off and I have boxes and boxes of books in my office.
I'm in north-central CT, and need someone who will pick up.  Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Gillian
