If you know any Sydney-based organisation that accepts textbook and fiction book donations, please let me know. I spent a good hour on Google and haven’t found anyone – if you think libraries want books, think again. Most libraries stopped taking ‘old’ books years ago. I, much like many people, want to make sure that their books are not shredded, but used by someone who needs them, whoever and wherever that might be. So if you know any organisation that accepts donations of textbooks and other non-academic books, please reply via a comment to this blog post.
I know I’m not the only one. I found dozens of questions on forums asking the same question with no answers… There’s an opportunity in there somewhere for someone who wants to do some good!
