Now I have a huge amount of big cookbooks to get rid of. I am thinking donating to a thriftshop as I don't know if my library would take them.  I don't need them as I use the internet when I need a recipe.
We took alot of stuff to the landfill and the lady in the guard shack actually wanted my old crockpot so I gave it to her.  |
My hubs drives me crazy with the packrat tendencies. Not only does he refuse to throw away his own stuff ("but honey, it might be useful someday" - NOT!!!) he takes other people's junk that they are throwing away.
I would think the library will take your old cookbooks - not to put into circulation, but to sell for cash. Every library I've ever belonged to will take just about any book as long as it's not falling apart - then they sell them in book sales to raise money.
