[CALIBK12] Where to donate used textbooks?

[Karen Andresen]

They are in my hometown of Novato and, unfortunately, have to move out of their old location and haven't found a new one yet. How sad. Goodwill seems to take all books without asking questions so far. Karen Andresen

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*
