I have a lot of books (novels, non-fiction, etc.) that I'd like to get rid of.  Who takes old books?  I would hate to throw them away.

Local libraries have friends of groups that take them.

Goodwill does.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

many libraries will take them.
at a minimum they will sell them off at one of their book sales

when i moved after living in colorado for 15 years, i donated about 200 paperbacks to the local library.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

I've also donated to nursing homes and schools.
