Creative Ways to Sell & Give Away Literature

Donate magazines and catalogues to teachers for school projects
Sell them back to a used book store like Half Price Books
Start a Little Free Library in your neighborhood! It’s a “take a book, give a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share.
If all else fails, simply place your books and magazines in the recycling bin, and not the trash! Be sure to check with your service provided before recycling hardcover books. Some require the spines of hardcover books be removed prior to recycling.
