Fantasy, romance, thriller, historical fiction- whatever your genre is, books allow us to step into different worlds and experience other people's perspectives. If you’re anything like us, you love and appreciate the physical media experience of reading a book and building a collection of stories at home.
But when it’s time to move, make room, and start anew, how do we dispose of our books in a sustainable way?
There are a lot of options for giving away and donating books. In your community, you can look to your local library and your local school districts to see if they are taking donations. You can also locate drop boxes for organizations like Better World Books , where books are sold online to raise funds for non-profit literacy organizations.
Another option is to start a small library in your neighborhood. The concept is that anyone passing by can take or leave a book to be shared with your neighbors. This is a great way to unite your community and help others connect with new stories in a sustainable way.
We hope these shared stories and experiences will help us all grow and learn more about each other and the world around us. Learning how to treat our neighbors and planet with love and respect is a collaborative effort. Connect with your community and help build a more sustainable future.
