[CALIBK12] textbook recycling

[Mary Masten]

I would like the information on this as I have to get rid of textbooks.
Many are outdated but some were published in 2002.  Why do schools have to
purchase language arts and math books every 5 years once you purchase the
ones that meet the CA standards?  I can understand the need to purchase
Science books; however math and language arts do not change that often.  The
books are so expensive and heavy.  I have a similar problem with the
discarded library books.  No wonder so many older library books are still on
the shelf.  

 

Arcata has a place that will recycle hard cover books and I will be taking
some there.

I have an administrator who would like to dispose of his old textbooks.
Does anyone know of an organization that will either buy them, donate them,
or recycle them?

Thanks so much!
