Old books, new readers

Thankful, thankful, thankful.

As a reader I'm thankful for eyes that work well enough to enjoy the printed word. As I get older grow up I'm grateful for cheap reading glasses and good lighting, too. As a pack rat, I'm always grateful for the people and institutions who graciously receive my dusty old books and breathe new life into them.

What do you do with your old books?

Doctor and dentist offices, schools, new school teachers, after-school activity centers, and a slew of charities can get your once-loved-but-long-shelved volumes into the hands of folks who will enjoy them as you did.

Why not go clean off a shelf right now? It's a lovely, tangible way to share your love of reading.

And to make room for new books ;)
