This delights me! Plus, giving my books away made my living space cleaner, more organized, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/declutter-for-life\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less cluttered<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why should I donate used books?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, my husband and I have a small bookcase. We both have tiny personal libraries that consist of 5-10 books each. When I finish reading a book, I give it away. And, my husband does the same thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Below are a few key reasons why we continue to donate our books:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small bookcases are easy to clean, organize, and they are visually appealing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting local libraries and charities through book donations is a simple way to give back to my community.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My library is an excellent place to find good reads, and it\u2019s a place to make new connections. For example, libraries often have bulletin boards with announcements about books clubs, local events, volunteer opportunities, and more. In an era of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivekmurthy.com\/together-book\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increasing loneliness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a library can be a bridge to connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I celebrate that my books have gone to readers in need. As a bonus, I don\u2019t feel guilty for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reading new or used books on my bookshelf.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope my list inspires you to donate your books to a local library or charity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where should I donate books?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many places that will accept used books. Plus, donating books is a joyful way to make connections in your local community. For example, asking about book donations at my local library led me to a volunteer opportunity with an adult literacy program. Letting go of books can be gratifying and fun!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Friends and Family. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask loved ones if they would like to shop for books at your house. Giving books away to fellow book lovers is fun, and it will save you time. You won\u2019t need to haul your books to the library or a charity.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Local Libraries.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Local libraries are vital community organizations. They host events, help people learn how to read, serve as gathering places, and more. Giving the gift of books helps keep libraries going.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Local Used Bookstores.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Often, local bookstores accept used books or you can sell them. I rarely sell my books. Instead, I prefer giving books away to my local bookstore.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/littlefreelibrary.org\/\"><b>Little Free Library<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I love this organization and their motto: \u201cTake a book.
