Too Many Books? Donate Them To The Central Library

If you’ve got a box of books set aside waiting to be donated, the Central Library (10 Grand Army Plaza) is collecting them now through Saturday, October 5, when they’ll host the Great American Book Drive from 10am to 3pm. During the event, there will be a $1 book sale, live music, and crafts for kids. Better World Books will sell the donated books to people all over the world, and Brooklyn Public Library will get part of every sale.

Closer to home, the Friends of Cortelyou Library have held book sales in the past, and we’ll let you know if they’ve got one coming up. Is there anywhere else nearby that you’d recommend for donating books?
