The importance of reading cannot be overemphasized. Maybe there was a point in your life when you took reading as a hobby and you now have quite a large collection of books. The thing is, they are just sitting there in your library, collecting dust. If you haven’t opened any of those books at all, maybe you can do them a lot more favor by donating them.
Why not donate them to local libraries and schools? For sure, these institutions will only be too happy to accept them. You can also try donating via the online route. Among the popular sites that deal with book donation are PaperBackSwap (a site that lets you earn credits for each book that you donate and these credits you can then use to buy another book of your choice), BookCrossing which is a site that makes books available to anyone interested to read them, and JustGive where you can find a wealth of information when it comes to great places you can donate to.
There are also a number of charitable organizations that you can approach. Remember, even if you don’t find any more use for your books, there are people who will be interested in them.
