The book is one of the most fascinating subjects that can take its reader to another world for a moment. True, among them there are those that are interesting to read only once. After that, they can either be stored for years, passing on to the future generation, or shared with other people who are interested in this literature.
Instructions
Step 1
Go through the books you have. Strongly shabby and uninteresting today, which are not a rarity, it is best to hand them over to waste paper collection points, since elsewhere they are unlikely to be accepted even as a gift. Outdated scientific literature can also be sent there.
Step 2
Books in good condition can be accepted by libraries. Usually fiction, collected works of an author, some detective stories and, of course, rare editions are in demand there. Before taking them there, it is better to clarify in advance what kind of books the library staff will accept as a gift.
Step 3
Try to add interesting and colorfully illustrated books for children also to the children's library, boarding schools and orphanages. The last two institutions often lack various things, including good literature. But there is no need to carry completely shabby editions there, since kids are unlikely to have fun reading such a book. Or glue your gifts carefully.
Step 4
Fiction, contemporary journalism, or detectives can be hosted in homes for the disabled or the elderly. People living there often have nothing to buy books for, and many of them love to read. Thus, you will not only free up the shelves in your closet, but also do a good deed.
Step 5
You can also get rid of unnecessary books with the help of a popular social movement today called bookcrossing. Its essence can be formulated by the phrase “read it - give it to another”. To do this, you need to go to the sites bookcrossing.ru or bookcrossing.com, fill in the name of the book you want to give, get a special number for it and indicate the place where you leave it for other people. After that, you need to take the book with the number pasted on it to the indicated address so that those who wish can pick it up.
Step 6
If you are concerned about the safety of your literature, take advantage of the special bookcrossing shelves located in some public places. You can find out about them on the website. This method allows you to get rid of unnecessary books, read new ones and follow the further fate of your literature on the Internet, because a conscientious reader will certainly enter information about the book received and the city of its location on the same site.
Step 7
In addition, books in good condition can be taken to a second-hand bookstore. There they can even pay a certain amount for them - from 5 to 100 rubles for each edition, depending on the demand for it and the state of the book.
