When packing your books, please box like books together and label the box. Call ahead for large loads. To find someone to pick up the books at your location, try the bookrescue newsgroup.
To recycle damaged or older hard back books with us, we ask for a $5 donation/box for hardcover books. You can recycle soft cover books at home.
Book Rescue Newsgroup
If you have books to donate, please consider sending us an email describing your books as follows:
To: bookrescue@yahoogroups.com Subject: OFFER: then age group, subject, and city (e.g. HS Chemistry Books in Glen Ellyn) Body of Message: Details about the books, including title, publisher, number of copies, and ideally ISBN number.
This email will cause your books to be listed on our bookrescue newsgroup. If someone needs your books, they will contact you directly. You can privately make arrangements for the book transfer, which means you won't have to load up your car and drive to Glen Ellyn.
JOIN OUR BOOKRESCUE NEWSGROUP
We are recruiting members for our newsgroup. Go to
the Book Rescue newsgroup. It is like a free classified ad section for books (and school supplies). The plan is that if you post your books, we can advertise them and match the people that need books with the people that want books before we shelve them all.
