Cleaning out bookcases
I have well over 1,000 paperback books that I've bought over the past 10 years or so. Another 100 + hardcover.
Need to get rid of them but I feel a bit guilty just tossing them. (yes, I know everyone has kindle now)
Can you think of any use for them? Who to call to donate?
I'm temporarily disabled right now so I can't pack & move them myself.

Re: Cleaning out bookcases
Stand up for something you believe in.
I take mine to half price books. I don't get too much $, but better than nothing. I also take magazines.
If I don't have too many books, I take them to our city library as they have a fund-raiser book sale once a year.
We actually got rid of all our books a few years ago...it was a huge load off my mind. I had a heck of a time organizing them, storing them, displaying them etc
We donated them to a variety of organizations (shelter, prison, nursing home) as well as our library.
Many places will pick up donations on your front porch/doorstep. You just have to call and make arrangements for a pick up.
As far as packing them...perhaps a family member or neighbor/friend can help you do that? I don't know that the organization that picks up will do that for you (you could ask of course).
