What do you do with books you are done with?

These are adult history and non fiction books so I don't think I can put them in a little free library. Any other ideas on what to do with them? So far I have just been keeping them.

If you are reading books you don’t want to own, stop buying and start borrowing. I only own books I love, buying them after I’ve read them a first time. Everything i read is borrowed from the library (in person or Libby).

Plenty of history and non fiction books in the Little Libraries around me. They’ll be picked up by someone.

+1 Our little free libraries are all for adults in my neighborhood! Mostly chick lit and Oprah picks from what I can tell, checked out by all the dog walkers.

Give them away on buy nothing or drop off at the thrift store with other stuff I’m dropping off.

you can put those in little free libraries - they mostly take a whole range of books. I'd try not to burden one with too many though. I used to drive around town putting 2-3 in each one, so as not to over-burden. They were mainly fiction though.

What about living communities for active seniors?

LFLs in my DC neighborhood are all nerd books all the time, lol. Lots of history, politics, international relations theory. So DC!

I trade them in at McKay's used books for store credit and get myself some more books. You can get cash, too, though.

I return them to the library where I borrowed them. I don’t buy books.

I only buy books from our Friends of the Library book sale. When I'm finished with them, I donate them back, unless I really want to keep them (not usually).
