Books that truly need to go to a different life are sent to the paper recycling. However, we have to remove the hard covers for them to accept. On 6/16/2021 9:55 AM, Kathy Hutchinson via Michlib-l wrote:
We are currently using Thrift Books - it has been a lifesaver for us. We also use Royal Oak Recycling (we have 3 large dumpsters in our parking lot); we can use these for hard and soft cover books that we need to dispose of. Thrift Books sells books for us and recycles books.

Does anyone know of anywhere that takes large quantities of books for recycling? Our Friends of the Library are overrun and we need to do something. Programs like Sustainable Shelves or Better World Books are out of the question at this time. The Friends’ room is almost to the ceiling and you can’t walk to the back.
