Can we donate college books to like a goodwill??

I was just wondering. I have some old books that I hate to just throw away and rather give to someone/someplace that can make good use of them? What you think??Can we donate college books to like a goodwill??
I don't see why not. Who know who you will be helping by dropping those books off. If its not worth selling them back to where you purchased them and you will not be attending graduate school -- that is an excellent idea. Once I've completed graduate school I might very well do what you suggested.
I'd think so. You can also donate them to a local library or (if they're not too old) sell them at your local college campus for a fair price.Can we donate college books to like a goodwill??
of course you can, those old books w/ old material is considered new material to certain groups...Africa for example needs books...old or new
Please do! I've been able to get textbooks from Goodwill before, and it has really helped me stay in a tight budget.Can we donate college books to like a goodwill??
Having worked in thrift stores~ sometimes this old books get tossed because no one will buy them. Especially dated college textbooks....Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. MIGHT be able to sell them, but if not, they will get recycled.

Instead, I would recommend donating them to someplace where someone might get the good out of them ~ what comes to mind is to donate them to a lending library in a impoverished part of your state OR to an emergency shelter, day shelter, prison, rehab, or community center.
I suggest you call your local Goodwill store and ask if books are accepted. Check to see if the books are being used at a local college and sell them to the bookstore. If you can't sell them and they might be of interest to someone other than a student, see if a local senior center or nursing home might be interested in the books. However, if they are hardbound, they might be too heavy for older folks. Then, there are crafters that use old books to make new things. You can place an ad on something like Craig's List to donate the books or look for local crafters that might like to use them for their projects.



I hope this helps. Good luck!
If they're recent editions, somebody can use them. If you can't find a convenient charity that will take them, consider donating them to the university library. Lots of students have money trouble and would love to be able to get the book from the library instead of having to buy it. I've done that for courses where I didn't think I was going to need the book for reference later. If the university library doesn't want them, you can put up a poster on campus offering the books for free, and I guarantee somebody will take them off your hands.
