Donate them to your local library. At least they will know of a place besides a dumpster if the books needs to be disposed of.

I'm sure that there would be community centers, maybe for children, maybe for displaced people, maybe for students, maybe group homes, who would love to have them.

We also have a set of the Child Craft books which are probably more useful for children than the old Encyclopedias.


Any innovative ideas regarding what to do with these? I guess the Recycling Center may be the only option but my wife is far more opposed to this solution than me.
I saw encyclopedias at an antique store. Maybe one of them will buy them. Did anyone else think of Friends?
