  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  Many are outdated but some were published in 2002.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!
