[CALIBK12] Where to donate used textbooks?

[Sue Beckmeyer]

I have never used them, but his organization might be just the place, and
they are close by:

Global Book Exchange http://bookexchange.marin.org/

Here's a blurb from their web site:

*THE GLOBAL BOOK EXCHANGE FINDS SECOND HOMES LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY FOR USED
TEXTS AND LIBRARY BOOKS. WORKING WITH MARIN COUNTY YOUTH, EDUCATORS AND
SERVICE CLUBS, WE PROMOTE EDUCATION AND LITERACY WORLDWIDE*
